This function is used to maintain the service structure of the site you are logged into. The service structure is the overall structure of the services offered by the site.
The services offered by the site can be a mix of File, XML and SOAP services.
The tree shows information about the current service structure.
For each element this information is shown: An icon and individual information dependent on the element type.
The order of the elements are fixed:
The tree structure supports a popup menu. You can right-click on a node in the Service structure tree and a popup menu is shown. The content of the popup menu reflect the possible choices on the element type in question.
Each of the service elements has an icon representing the type of element and a status indication (for URL and Service Handler only).
The status indication is a small graphics representing the following states
| Icon | Element type |
|---|---|
|
Root |
|
Processor, active
Processor, inactive Processor, for Intranet only |
|
Criterion |
|
Service Handler, active
Service Handler, inactive |
| Parent Element Type | Information |
|---|---|
| Root | Services for [service url root] |
| Processor | [url mask] ([description of processor]) |
| Criterion | [criterion name] [criterion value] |
| Service Handler | [service handler name] Value: [value] |
This is the root name for services. The URL is the 'Entry URL' and 'URL extension for identifying service request' concatenated.
[url mask]
This is the URL mask that indicates the name of the service in question.
The actual path to the service in question is [service url root][url mask].
[description of processor]
This is the description that has been entered on the Processor.
[criterion name]
This is the name of selected criterion.
[criterion value]
This is the value that must be matched with the incoming service request.
[service handler name]
This is the name of the selected Service handler.
[value]
This is the value that must match with the incoming service request.
Select the place in the structure where you want to add an element and press the Add button or right-click to show the popup menu and then select Add.
Adding a Processor element under the Root element.
Only Root, Processor and Criteria can have child elements added.
Select the element you want to update and press the Update button or right-click to show the popup menu and then select Update.
Only Processor, Criterion and Service handler can be updated.
An element can be removed from the service structure when you select the element and press the Remove button or right-click to show the popup menu and then select Remove. You will then be asked to confirm the removal.
When you want to remove an element, the level(s) below will get removed too. In case of removing a handler, there are no levels below so just the selected handler will be removed.
In order to create a WSDL file right-click on either the Service or Handler in question to show the popup menu. Select Create WSDL option.
The WSDL file will be generated and a download dialog will be shown in order for you to decide where to store the WSDL file.
This option is valid only for URL elements and Service handler elements where the SOAP action criterion has been chosen.
Note that WebsydianExpress has now knowledge of which port the web server uses.
This means that if you for instance access the site by the URL:
http://MYPC:8080/site/demosite - the WSDL will generate the URL:
http://MYPC/site/demosite for the soap address found under the service definitions.
You must correct this manually before delivering the WSDL to the clients.
The URL is found in the last section of the WSDL - and has the format:
<soap:address location="http://MYPC/express30win/site/demosite/..."/>
The incoming request is compared against the criteria in the order that they are shown in the service structure. In order to be able to change this order, you can use the two buttons Move up and Move down.
Move up and Move down are also available on the popup menu when you right click on a URL element or Service handler element that is based on the SOAP action criterion.
To move a Criterion further up in the comparison order, click on the Move up button or right-click on Criterion in question and select Move up on the popup menu.
To move a Criterion further down in the comparison order, click on the Move down button or right-click on Criterion in question and select Move down on the pop-up menu.
This button opens a pop-up window where you can maintain the service handlers.
This button opens a pop-up window where you can maintain the service processors.
This button opens a pop-up windows where you can maintain the selection criteria.
