Import the existing Web service into your workspace

To build this sample, you need the HelloService sample Web service. This is pre-supplied for you and represents an existing Web service you want to call, which takes a string and returns “Hello string”.

You do not need to know how the service is implemented, but you will notice it was done with a mediation module with a simple Java component that is exported with a Web service export binding.

To add the ready-made HelloService Web service implementation to your workspace:

  1. Open IBM® Integration Designer and select a new workspace.
  2. On the Getting Started - IBM Integration Designer page, select the IBM Integration Designer link under Samples and Tutorials, as shown in the following figure:
