Web services tip

[aware_support]

Many people are asking us about services/web services, so I thought I would put it on the forum:

To get Aware IM to expose a web service you need to define an Aware IM service with an implementing process (this is described in the User Guide)

When a business space version containing a service definition is published Aware IM automatically creates a web service.

Note the following:

1. To access the created web service the 3rd party has to use the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/services/ ... sSpaceName
2. You can look at the resulting WSDL file at the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/services/ ... Name/?WSDL

Where BusinessSpaceName is the name of the business space that exposes the service.

Note also:
1. You must publish the version that exposes services - testing mode will not work
2. You must login into the business space from the browser after publishing it (this is when the services will be deployed as web services) - just use the standard login page

Sorry for the typo in the previous post. The correct URL for WSDL is:

http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/services/ ... eName?WSDL
