Configuring the End Event to Return a Message to the Client

When a process is exposing a request-response operation, the end event defines the response (Output) message which will be returned to the client when the process ends.

The end event must be configured both:

  • as a message trigger type, and
  • as the reply to the earlier request, by pairing it with the upstream start event.

Defining an end event as a message trigger type causes TIBCO Business Studio to automatically update the abstract WSDL file to add a response message to the service operation provided by the start event.

Procedure

  1. Select the End Event.
  2. In the Properties view, General tab, change the Label to Send greeting.
  3. Change the Result Type from None to Message Result. By default, the end event is automatically paired with the Get user’s name start event - this is shown in the left-hand pane of the tab.

    The right-hand pane of the tab displays the implementation details defined by the start event.
