Chapter 6 Communicating with a Web Service Tutorial Creating the Mapping Rules File

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the XML Mapping Utility to map GUI components in an application to exposed data elements in a web service using the example application you created in General Interface Getting Started.

The example application allows a user to input a zip code and click a button to send the zip code data to the web service. The web service receives the user input and sends a response that returns the matching city and state.

The example application is also available as a General Interface sample. To open the sample, choose Project > User Projects > Samples > WSDL_Mapping_1.

Before you begin this tutorial, you must create the application in General Interface Getting Started.

In this tutorial, you'll complete the following tasks:

  1. Create a mapping rules file that defines mappings between application objects and data elements.
  2. Define mappings in the mapping rules file.
  3. Generate the function code that calls the web service.
  4. Invoke the function code.
  5. Test the mappings.

For more information on mapping and the XML Mapping Utility, see Communicating with Data Services.
