EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
For details on the uses of a Web service definition file, see EGL Web service. To create such a file, do
as follows:
- Click File > New > Other; and at the New screen, click
EGL, then EGL Web Service Definition, then
Next.
- The Select Container page is displayed.
- Identify the file:
- Assign a folder name, either by typing a folder name in the first text box
or by expanding entries until the folder name of interest is in that text
box.
- Type a file name in the last text box.
- Click Finish.
The name of the Web service definition file is the name of the Web service,
followed by the extension .eglwsd. The Web service name cannot
be the same as an operation name and cannot include a currency symbol or
hyphen; for other details, see Naming conventions.
- Work in the Web Service Operations grid to relate one or more operations
to each EGL program:
- Click Add.
- In the second column of the active row, click the down arrow to select an
entry from a drop-down list. The path is relative to the
workspace.
- To accept the program name as the operation name, do nothing more in the
active row; otherwise, type the operation name in the first column of the
active row.
You are required to specify an operation name explicitly if the program
name is invalid as an operation name; for details, see Naming
conventions.
- If you want to delete a row, click into that row and click
Remove.
- To save the file, press Ctrl-S.
