Web Service Configuration Window

This window allows the process modeler to configure which Web service method should be invoked at runtime. It also allows the process modeler to configure the custom process attributes that should be associated with the Web service method's parameters (if any), and the custom process attribute that will be used to store the Web service method's return value (if any).

Note: In some cases, the Type of the object instance returned by a Web method may need to implement the IConvertible interface in order for the Web method to be used with the Web Service AgileShape.

Once the configuration dialog is open, enter the URL of a Web Service and click the Connect button. A list of the Web service's available methods will be retrieved. Select the method you want to associate with this AgileShape. To configure the custom process attributes for the parameters and/or return value, simply click on an attribute (e.g. $piID) to highlight it, and then click on it again to modify the value.

Note: You may need pause briefly between clicks in order to get the dialog to enter edit mode properly.
