Create a Web Services program
You can use Genero Studio to write, compile, and execute a Genero Web Services (GWS) client or server application.
Add Web Service
To access or define a Web service, you must have the WSDL description created by the service provider. You can use the WSDL description to determine the operations of the Web Service to use in your BDL program, the required parameters, and the return values.
The Web Services wizard
The Web Services Wizard guides you through the steps to add the necessary service information to your application.
Build the application
The Genero library file WSHelper.42m must be linked into every application using Web Services.
Update the WSDL
Right-click the WSDL node in the project structure to update the WSDL file.
Add Web services (Server, Services, Forms with services)
Web services are a standard way of communicating between applications over an intranet or Internet. They define how to communicate between two entities: a server that exposes services and a client that consumes services. Web services may provide programmable access to the functions of a form or a standalone service without a form.
