Schema generation
You can generate the schema and view the XML for any web service in the Web Services Library application. You can also regenerate the schema to ensure that the schema is updated to reflect any changes that you make to the service.
A web service data structure is based on its associated object structure (for object structure services and enterprise services) or method signature (for standard web services). The web service data structure is provided in a standard XML representation, as a schema. This schema is used to create the WSDL file for the service.
- Adding new fields to a table
- Changing the type of a field
- Dropping fields from a table
- Changing a field from optional to required
Before you deploy a web service, you must generate the schema to provide updated schema information to the WSDL file. When you generate a schema, input elements are displayed in the XML Data window and output elements are displayed in the Response XML window.
- Enterprise service and object structure schemas
- Use a URL that is similar to the following example in which MXSR is the object structure name
that is associated with the
service:
For compatibility with version 7.5, URLs that are similar to the following example are still supported:http://localhost:port/meaweb/schema/service/MXSR
http://localhost:port/meaweb/schema/service/MXSRService.xsd
- Standard service schemas
- Use a URL that is similar to the following example in which ITEM is the name of the
service.
For compatibility with version 7.5, URLs that are similar to the following example are still supported:http://localhost:port/meaweb/schema/service/ss/ITEM
http://localhost:port/meaweb/schema/service/ss/ITEMService.xsd
If you set the mxe.int.resolveschema
global property to true in the System Properties application, all include files are resolved. The entire schema content resides in a single file. In a multitenancy environment, this property is configured by the global administrator.
