Enabling collaborations for request processing

Note:
The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Object Discovery Agent (ODA) is used for generating business objects for request processing only.
Collaborations use the connector to invoke web services. Web services are described using WSDL (Web Services Description Language). This chapter describes how to use the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Object Discovery Agent (ODA) to generate business objects. The connector and SOAP data handler use these business objects when collaborations invoke a web service. It also describes how to modify collaborations to invoke web services.

You can launch the WSDL ODA when you use the Business Object Designer Express. The WSDL ODA reads a WSDL document and creates the business objects required by the connector and SOAP data handler. The WSDL ODA simplifies the job of business object development.

Note:
The WSDL ODA handles SOAP/HTTP and SOAP/JMS bindings in a WSDL.
