CA Gen Release 8.5 now allows all CA Gen servers that execute under the CA Gen Transaction Enabler (TE) to support the web service protocol. Prior to CA Gen Release 8.5, only CA Gen EJB Servers were capable of using the web service protocol.
TE Servers have always used a CA Gen specific protocol that works over TCP/IP to communicate with clients. The TE environment was modified to support web services over TCP/IP. Since the same port is used for both protocols, there were no additional configuration settings added to TE. Use of web services does require that the CA Gen Server Manager be regenerated. However, existing CA Gen Server Managers will continue to work with the 8.5 TE (just without Web Service support).
The URL for accessing a TE web service WSDL is in the following format:
http://hostname:port/LM/PSTEP?wsdl
Specifies the name or IP address of the machine.
Specifies the location where the TE is listening.
Specifies the load module name of the server manager.
Specifies the long name of the procedure step.
The support for web services extends to the following platforms running the TE: Windows, AIX, IA64, and Solaris.
With the Web Services Middleware support added, all CA Gen Clients (C, Java, and .NET) can now communicate with TE using web service as the protocol.
