Web Services and WSDL

Actuate supplies a WSDL file (actuate.wsdl), which serves as an interface to applications that integrate with iServer System. The WSDL file describes all the web services available through Actuate IDAPI. One can use Integrated Development Environment to develop an application that uses the WSDL interface. 

Accessing Actuate Web Services using WSDL toolkit

• The Volume sends Actuate XML Schema over the web in response to a client query.
  
• The client uses a WSDL toolkit to generate a proxy object that corresponds to a service in Actuates WSDL file
  
• The client Application calls the proxy object
  
• Using the proxy object, the client generates a SOAP requests, add an HTTP header and sends the package to iServer System over the web.
  
• The iServer System process the SOAP message header, deserializes the SOAP envelope and invokes the appropriate service.
  
• The service serializes the result, creates the response XML, places the encoded result in the SOAP response message and returns the package to the client application. The application then extracts and decodes the result.
