Extending the Web Services using HTTP nodes sample

You can extend the Web Service Host sample and the Web Service Client sample in the following ways.

Extending the Web Service Host sample

The Web Service Host sample is run by using a suitable HTTP utility tool. It can also be called from a Web service client application. The message set contains a WSDL directory that contains files representing the document and literal style for WSDL. You can use the WSDL directory to generate a client application by using software such as Rational Application Developer (RAD).

Extending the Web Service Client sample

The Web Service Client sample is run by using a utility to put a message to a WebSphere MQ queue. The client message flow builds the Web service request message and passes it to the Web service. The client message flow receives the Web service reply and builds a WebSphere MQ message to be sent as response to the originator.

The client message flow can be enhanced to call another Web service that is not hosted by a message broker. The client message flow can also call more than one Web service by having HTTPRequest nodes in series, and storing the data received from each node in the Environment tree.
