Versioning Web Services

You can use the friendly name and target namespace to support versioning for a Web service. This is useful when you want to deploy a Web service for more than one SOAP format (WSDL style/use), to use different AppServers, or to generally deploy an updated version of the Web service.

Progress Software Corporation recommends putting version information in the target namespace to identify multiple versions of a Web service. To support multiple SOAP formats, either deploy each SOAP format to a different WSA instance or indicate the SOAP format in the friendlyname and target namespace.

For example, Table 6–3 shows how you might represent the first version of the Web service.

Table 6–3: Web service order info version 1: Example

Deployment information	Value
Name	OrderInfo-RpcEncoded-0001
Web Service Namespace (one of these values)	urn:your-domain-name:OrderInfo:RpcEncoded:0001
	http://your-domain-name/OrderInfo/RpcEncoded/0001

Table 6–4 shows how you might represent the second version of the Web service.

Table 6–4: Web service order info version 2: Example

Deployment information	Value
Name	OrderInfo-RpcEncoded-0002
Web Service Namespace (one of these values)	urn:your-domain-name:OrderInfo:RpcEncoded:0002
	http://your-domain-name/OrderInfo/RpcEncoded/0002
