Exposing collaborations as web services

This chapter describes the design-time procedure of exposing a collaboration as a web service. This enables the connector to process events when a web service client invokes a collaboration.

Integrated design tools simplify the task of exposing a collaboration as a web service. After configuring the collaboration and business objects for web services, you use the WSDL Configuration Wizard. The wizard creates a WSDL document and XML schema that represent the collaboration as a web service. The WSDL outputs not only describe the collaboration but form the basis for its invocation by a web service client.
