When you install a Web Services Invocation OpenEdge service in Sonic ESB, you specify one of the following two files as the service definition:
The WSM file — Created by Proxy Generator from the compiled r-code for an AppServer application
The WSD file — Exported from an existing Web service
Sonic ESB stores a copy of the specified service definition file as a resource. The file retains its original name. The OpenEdge Adapter for Sonic ESB relies on the stored WSM or WSD file for the information needed to code and decode client SOAP messages and to access the appropriate service to execute requests.
When you deploy a Web service to a WSA instance, in contrast, the WSA stores the service definition as a copy of the original WSM or WSD file with the name FriendlyName.wsad. The WSA relies on this WSAD file for the necessary information about SOAP processing and service identification.
