This page describes the steps for calling a web service using the SOAP protocol. This page also give you background information on how web services work within the Blueriq architecture. The following steps are required:

Importing

Because a SOAP service is neatly defined within a WSDL, it is possible to import such a WSDL file in Blueriq. Go to File → Import → Import WSDL and provide the location of the WSDL file. If you have multiple files (for example: your WSDL is importing/including an XSD schema) then provide a zip file with all needed files. Select the project for the import and you can choose whether to create a new module, or overwrite an existing one. The option 'Generate Domain' will automatically generate domain for you, based on the XSD schema referred to from the WSDL. When this button is checked, entities, attributes and relations are created based on the type definitions of the XSD. When using an existing module, there may already be a domain present, that uses identical names as in the XSD. When overwriting, conflicting elements are not created. Obviously, these problems do not occur if you use a new module. When 'Generate Domain' is unchecked, no domain is generated for you. In that case, you can later match the elements from the XSD to you own domain (explained later). In general, it is advised to use a separate module in order to not mix the domain for the web service with the domain of your business.
