Service SOAP rules
Completing the New or Save As form

A Service SOAP rule has three key parts. The first key part must match a Service Package data instance, as described below.

The class and method name key parts are considered "external" and are unrelated to Process Commander classes and methods, for flexibility.

For example, a service that is already exported and deployed on a client computer may be changed to call a different Process Commander activity. Because the external representation and the WSDL file hasn't changed, you do not need to redeploy and modify the application code on the client computer.

Field	Description
Type	Select Service SOAP from the Integration-Services category.
Customer Package Name	Select a package name that groups related Service SOAP rules. Choose a name already defined through a Service Package data instance. See About Service Package data instances.
Customer Class Name	Enter a class name to logically group related methods. This name need not match the Process Commander class that the activity belongs to, but must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter an identifier.
Customer Method Name	Enter an identifier that describes the function of the Process Commander activity that the service calls. See How to enter an identifier.

For general information about the New form, see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

Rule resolution

When searching for a SOAP rule, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Circumstance-qualified and time-qualified resolution features are not available for Service SOAP rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to Service SOAP rule resolution.
