Contents of the Web Service Configuration Dialog Box

Use these fields and options to set up a web service.

Field	Description
Web Service Location	Enter the location of the Web service, using the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) location. WSDL is an XML language for describing Web services. For example, you could enter: http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?WSDL.
Web Methods	After you enter the web service location, this field lists the Web methods defined by that Web service, based on the information contained in the WSDL file.
Arguments	The list of arguments is automatically populated based on the method that you selected. Name: This is the name of the parameter to the method. Value: This is the SQL expression, which will be used to determine the value of the argument at run time. Click in this field to display the SQL Expression Builder dialog box to define the values.
Refresh	Click this button to refresh the list of available methods and arguments. Clicking this button forces Vantagepoint to read from the latest WSDL file generated for the web service: If the web service has been modified to include new web methods, or if existing web methods have been altered with respect to the list of arguments, Vantagepoint refreshes the Web Methods drop-down list with the latest values. If the list of arguments has changed for the web method that is currently selected, Vantagepoint refreshes the list in the Arguments grid.
