PORTNAME Statement—Specify the Port Name Within the Namespace

The PORTNAME statement specifies the WSDL port name within the target namespace in a Web Service job.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the Web Service job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

PORTNAME portname

portname

Specifies the WSDL port name within the target namespace. A WSDL port describes the operations exposed by a web service and defines the connection point to the web service.

Limits: Up to 100 characters; case-sensitive

Notes:

Enclose values that contain delimiters (such as spaces) in double quotation marks.
In a Web Service job, if you specify the WSDL_URL statement but not the ENDPOINT_URL statement, you must specify both the SERVICENAME and PORTNAME statements.

Example: Specify the WSDL Port Name for Getting Stock Quotes

Suppose that you want to invoke a web service that returns a company stock quote. The URL for the WSDL that describes the web service and its location is http://www.webservicex.com/stockquote.asmx?WSDL. The WSDL port name within the target namespace http://www.webserviceX.NET is StockQuoteSoap. The target endpoint address URL is http://www.webservicex.com/stockquote.asmx. The job calls the operation GetQuote within the StockQuote web service. When the job invokes the web service, the company's stock symbol is passed to the operation. The GetQuote operation returns a java.lang.String object, which maps to the XML type string in the return namespace http://www.webserviceX.NET/. When the job completes, the stock quote for CA is stored as a serialized Java object in the job's spool directory.
