We already described in earlier post what is web service. Service enablement is one of the “essential features” or “process flow” in Oracle E-Business Suite Integrated SOA Gateway. You can say it is that “magic ingredient” which allows native packaged integration interface definitions written in PL/SQL, Java, and other formats and stored in Oracle Integration Repository to be transformed into Web services.
“Service enablement” involves:
- Generating service artifacts, such as XSD
- To validate XML messages, WSDL or WADL to describe the Web service,
- Deploying web services on an application server so that the services are available to clients over the Web.
