Chapter 11 Composing Web Service Calls


 

The Web services features described in this chapter are available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Edition.

Using Stylus Studio's Web service call composer, you can design, compose, and test a Web service call without writing any code. Once Stylus Studio composes the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) request and you have successfully tested it, you can use the SOAP response returned by the Web service as an XML source wherever you use XML documents in Stylus Studio.
