Exporting a SOAP-Enabled Application

  • Article

When you use COM+ to create an XML web service, that service can be used by any authorized client, including those not using COM+ or even Microsoft Windows. However, using a COM+ web service in client-activated object (CAO) mode from a COM+ client application is especially easy. Just export the SOAP-enabled application in proxy mode, and then import it into the client for which you want to access the corresponding XML web service.

Component Services Administrative Tool

To export a SOAP-enabled application from a server, use the following steps:

  1. In the console tree of the Component Services administrative tool, under Component Services, open the COM+ Applications folder associated with the computer you want to manage.

  2. Right-click the component you want to expose as an XML web service, and choose Export. The COM+ Application Export Wizard appears.

  3. In the text box labeled Enter the full path and filename for the application file to be created, enter the full path and filename for the MSI file that will contain the exported application, or click Browse to select the full path and filename using a dialog box.

  4. Under Export As, select the Application Proxy – Install on other machines to enable access to this machine radio button.
