This class defines a workflow step instruction that allows a Process Engine to communicate through a local Web Service and send a reply XML message to a location defined by the associated partner link, or it may send parameters to this location.

A VWReplyInstruction instance allows a business workflow process step to send a message in reply to a message that was received through a VWReceiveInstruction instance activity using the same portType, over the same partner link, before any other reply has been sent for that particular receive activity.

Create an instance of this class with VWCompoundStepDefinition.createReplyInstruction(String,String).
