OpenEdge Management and OpenEdge Explorer: Configuration

Managing Web Services Adapter instances
• SOAP Action — A string that the client application is required to place in the
SOAPAction HTTP header when accessing a Web service hosted by the WSA
instance. The SOAP Action HTTP header is required for all HTTP messages that
carry SOAP messages and is used by intervening security servers (such as firewalls)
to determine if each HTTP message is allowed to pass through to its destination. The
default is a blank string, but can be any string required by the intervening security
servers on the network.
• Append to SOAP Action — Indicates whether to append the specified SOAP
Action value to any other SOAP Action values generated for the Web service SOAP
messages by Web service clients.
• WSDL Style/Use — Specifies the SOAP format to use when sending or receiving
SOAP messages for this Web service. Supported formats are RPC/Encoded,
RPC/Literal, and Document/Literal.
