| <h1 class="topictitle1">Adding a port to a service</h1> |
| |
| |
| <div><p>A port defines an individual endpoint by specifying a single address |
| for a binding. The port contains a 'binding' attribute that references a binding |
| and an address element that provides a specification for the endpoint.</p> |
| |
| <div class="section"><p>Services are used to group sets of related ports together. Ports |
| within a service have the following relationship:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>None of the ports communicate with each other (for example, the output |
| of one port is not the input of another).</li> |
| |
| <li>If a service has several ports that share a port type, but employ different |
| bindings or addresses, the ports are alternatives. Each port provides semantically |
| equivalent behavior (within the transport and message format limitations imposed |
| by each binding).</li> |
| |
| <li>You can determine a service's port types by examining its ports. Using |
| this information a user can determine if a given machine supports all the |
| operations needed to complete a given task.</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| <p>To add a port to a service, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Graph view, right-click the service you want to add a port |
| to, then click <strong>Add Child > Port.</strong></span></li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Type the name of the port in the dialog.</span> Click <strong>Finish</strong>. |
| The name of the port should provide it with a unique name amongst all the |
| ports defined within the service.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>A <strong>Binding</strong> defines the message format and protocol details |
| for operations and messages defined by a particular port type.</span> You |
| can either create a new binding for your port, re-use an existing one, or |
| import one. Refer to the related tasks for more details.</li> |
| |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Type any information about the port you want the user to read in |
| the <strong>Documentation</strong> field.</span></li> |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| <div class="section"><p> <strong>Tip</strong>: You can also create a port using the Outline view |
| by right-clicking your service under the <strong>Services</strong> folder and clicking |
| <strong>Add Child > Port</strong>. Your port (regardless of which view you create it |
| in) will appear in both the Graph view and the Outline view.</p> |
