How to Read a Web Service Diagram

The elements used on a web service diagram are as follows:

1. Java Class

A modeled Java class associated with the modeled Java web service. The modeled Java class is present either because the web service has been generated from the it, or because you have selected the modeled web service and chosen "Show Implementation Files" from the context menu.

For more information about modeled Java classes, see How to Read a Diagram of Java Classes.

2. Java Web Service

A Java web service. You can create a Java web service from a modeled Java class, or directly on the diagram. Click on the Java Web Service icon on the component palette, then click on the diagram to invoke the Create Java Web Service wizard.

The name compartment contains the <<java web service>> stereotype, followed by the web service name. You can add new operations to the operations compartment. When there is a Java class associated with the web service, the class is updated with the new method.

3. Dependency

The dependency between the Java web service and the Java class.

4. PL/SQL Web Service

A PL/SQL web service. Create this by clicking on the PL/SQL Web Service icon on the component palette, then clicking on the diagram to invoke the Create PL/SQL Web Service wizard.

The name compartment contains the <<pl/sql web service>> stereotype, followed by the web service name. You cannot add a new operation to the operations compartment of a PL/SQL web service.

5. JMS Web Service

A JMS web service. Create this by clicking on the JMS Web Service icon on the component palette, then clicking on the diagram to invoke the Create JMS Web Service wizard.
