Method

Description​

A service method defines a method or an event which is provided by a service. An method is precisely defined by name and a namespace. The passing parameters are among other things defined in the Orchestra type system here.

note

Two methods are the same if they are identical in the same and namespace.

Creation and define method​

To add a method for your web service provider:

  1. Open your service provider.

  2. Click on the plus sign next to 'method' to add a new method.

  3. Define your new webservice method.

  4. Specify a name and a description (if applicable) for your webservice method.

  5. Choose the corresponding [Exchange Pattern] and define your parameters for the data inbound and data outbound.

Exchange Pattern:

  • Request = Asynchronous request (no response)

  • Request/Response = Synchronous request (response expected); the most used case

  • Notify = Implementation of a request as callback.

  • Solicit/Response = Implementation of a callback.

note

The usage of the parameters is analogous to the usage of parameters in channels. If you would like to learn more about this, please read Channels.
