Single-service projects

Single-service projects provide an integrated set of programs for generating files needed in developing Web services, including COBOL or PL/I source code files for runtime-specific request and response XML message processing and Web service description files (WSDL).

To generate these output files you first select data definitions from high-level-language source code files (COBOL or PL/I) and from XML schema definitions (from WSDL, XML, or XSD files, depending on the scenario) and then specify how the fields in the high-level-language data definitions are to be mapped to the fields in the XML schema definitions.

The generated output files can be used to create a service provider and requester application that invokes a new or existing CICS® application as its program component.
