A server exposes a"StockQuotation" service that responds to an operation "getQuote". For the "getQuote" operation, the input message is a stock symbol as a string, and the output message is a stock value as a decimal number.
The "getQuote" operation is a function written in Genero BDL, and it is published on the server. This function retrieves the stock value for the stock symbol passed in, and returns it.
