How to Create and Publish Web Services to CA API Gateway

The CA API Gateway is composed of three interoperable products—

These products protect applications that are exposed as web services, connect applications across security and identity domains, and validate policy compliance end-to-end across a transaction.

You can create web service interfaces using CA Gen and publish those web service interfaces to CA API Gateway so that the other development environments consume these web services. You can monitor and control the usage of those web services from the CA API Gateway Policy Manager.

When you publish a web service to CA API Gateway, the following actions take place:

  1. Adds a web service to the Services and Policies list of the CA API Gateway Policy Manager.
  2. Establishes the default policy of the web service.

You can publish multiple instances of the same web service when each contains a unique resolution URI. After the publication, the Policy Manager allows you to view the web service WSDL code and change or reset the web service WSDL from an established WSDL document without changing its existing policy.

To create and publish web services to CA API Gateway, follow these steps:

  1. Open a model in Gen Studio.
  2. Create an interface.
  3. Add a web service definition.
  4. Add web services.
  5. Add web operations.
  6. Publish web services.
