Deploying the Web Service

| o | Register the Web Service wirth IIS |
| 2. | When the Web Service has generated you will be given the opportunity to view it. Click ‘Yes’ to open it in a browser. |
To use the Web Service in Xcelsius you’ll need the Web Service URL with ‘?WSDL’ appended to it.
| o | Eg. ‘http://127.0.0.1/Products/Products.asmx?wsdl’. |
| 3. | Viewing a Web Service in a browser shows a list of available methods, which you can test. |
Open the first method and enter a region name, then press ‘Invoke’. This should bring back a list of corresponding products, in XML format.
