Although web services now play a minor role in the field of system integration, there are still a large number of systems within organizations that can exclusively provide or consume web services. However, since Intrexx excels at integrating and retrofitting older systems, we offer the ability to both provide and consume web services.
Web services are services that provide functions and data over the Internet. Similar to a search engine, requests are sent by a sender, which in this case is not a person but a software program. The web service returns the results to the requesting program. Web services are made available both internally and externally. The operations are described using WSDL (Web Services Description Language) files. Information is exchanged using XML files. To use a web service, you must know the URL that identifies the web service. With Intrexx, you can use web services without any programming effort and also offer your own web services.
In its current version, Intrexx supports only web services that comply with the WSI Basic Profile Version 1.1. are specified.
How can you tell if the web service's WSDL is compliant with the Basic Profile 1.1?
The style must be `document/literal`, i.e.,
-
The binding style must be "document"
-
Body Use must be "literal"
-
The body must not be "encoded"
