Retrieve Resources Activity

The Retrieve Resources activity generates a WSDL file containing a concrete service description of any process definition that has a SOAP Event Source process starter. This allows clients to access the WSDL for a web service that is implemented by a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process definition. The client can then use the WSDL file to invoke the web service. The Retrieve Resources activity can also be used to retrieve any other resources, including XSDs and WSIL. Using Retrieve Resources This activity is normally used in conjunction with an HTTP Receiver process starter and a Send HTTP Response activity. The HTTP Receiver process starter can receive an HTTP request and pass it along to the Retrieve Resources activity. When a request is made to retrieve a WSDL file for a process definition that has a SOAP Event Source process starter, Retrieve Resources creates a WSDL file dynamically. This file contains the concrete service definition of the specified BusinessWorks process definition. The WSDL file or other requested resources are then placed into the output for this activity. You can then pass the output of the Retrieve Resources activity to the Send HTTP Response activity to send the response back to the requestor.
