Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:

> ## Integrated Web services tool set

> Figure 6–9 shows how the tool set for Progress 4GL Web services is integrated in OpenEdge.

> Figure 6–9: Progress 4GL Web services tool set integration in OpenEdge

> In Figure 6–9, the tool set required for Progress 4GL Web services appear with gray shading, and the OpenEdge-implemented members of this tool set appear with darker gray shading. The unshaded components participate as “users” (such as Client dev tools in the figure) or “enablers” (such as AppServer 1) of Web services that are developed and deployed with OpenEdge. The components outlined in dashes and related with white arrow heads show optional elements, which in OpenEdge are useful for preparing client code to test Web service development. The dashed arrow heads in black show virtual relationships, where data moves, but not the actual path that it takes through the network.

> Note that the major activities labeled in this architecture take place in different times and spaces, as described in previous sections of this chapter. For example, the OpenEdge Web service development activity occurs in a totally separate context from the WSA configuration or Web service deployment activities. Only after Web service development is complete does the noted `.wsm` file become input to Progress Explorer for Web service deployment.

> For a step-by-step description of you to develop, deploy, and manage Progress 4GL Web services in OpenEdge, see OpenEdge Development: Web Services
