Once you understand the requirements of your OpenEdge Web service, you can either enable a new or an existing AppServer application as a Web service. The decisions that you made about security, session model, and the structure of Web service objects should help you decide whether to create a new or to use an existing AppServer application.
Realize that you do not have to include the complete interface of your AppServer-enabled application in your OpenEdge Web service. You might find that only enabling a few interface components of an existing application provides all the operations that you want in your WQeb service. The session model that the AppServer must support for a new application also determines the complexity of its programming.
For information on configuring and programming AppServer applications, see OpenEdge Application Server: Administration and OpenEdge Application Server: Developing AppServer Applications.
Once your application is ready, you must compile it into r-code in preparation for the next step in the process.
