FAQPage Schema
How do I create SOAP web services in InterSystems IRIS?

To create SOAP web services in InterSystems IRIS, you define and expose methods as service endpoints using ObjectScript. This Skill supports SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 standards to ensure robust interoperability for your integration scenarios.

How do I generate a web client from a WSDL file in InterSystems IRIS?

You generate a web client from a WSDL file in InterSystems IRIS by using this Skill to automatically generate client stubs. These generated ObjectScript classes allow you to programmatically interact with existing external web services.

What SOAP and WSDL standards are supported for web client consumption in IRIS?

Web client consumption in InterSystems IRIS supports SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, and WSDL 1.1 standards. Adhering to these standards ensures robust interoperability when generating client stubs for integration.

Do I need to know ObjectScript to build web services and web clients in InterSystems IRIS?

Yes, you need to understand ObjectScript to build web services and web clients in InterSystems IRIS. Effective implementation of SOAP endpoints and generated client stubs requires knowledge of ObjectScript and web service protocols.

When should I use SOAP-based web services for InterSystems IRIS integration?

Use SOAP-based web services for InterSystems IRIS integration when you need seamless data exchange with external systems via strict standards. This approach is ideal for exposing product catalogs or programmatically consuming external inventory management systems.
