Chapter 16. IMS MFS Web Services
IMS MFS Web Services lets you define a service from a Message Format Service (MFS)
source and then deploy it to WebSphere Application Server and make it available as an EJB
service and a Java service.
You build an MFS-based service by importing MFS source files into the WebSphere Studio
Application Developer Integration Edition and generating Web Service Definition Language
(WSDL) files. The WSDL files are based on application interface information that is stored in
the MFS source. The WSDL files contain details about the service including:
Interface elements that expose the operations and messages provided by the service
Provider-specific binding elements that describe how the service interface is implemented
Service and port elements that enable client applications to locate the service
In this chapter, we provide an overview of MFS Web Services.
