Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Web Services

Understanding how client interfaces differ using different SOAP formats

Client toolkits define the objects and methods of a Web service a little differently depending on the Web service SOAP format. The following sections compare how client interfaces represent components of Web-services-tools-defined Web services for the SOAP formats supported by Progress 4GL Web services:

Method signatures
Method return values
TABLE (static temp-table) parameters
TABLE-HANDLE (dynamic temp-table) parameters

For information on how some of these components appear in WSDL and SOAP, see Chapter 5, " Sample Code with SOAP Messages for Progress 4GL Web Services."
