Adding a Task Interface and Callback

For a easy way to create a task interface, see Creating a Task for a Participant.

A task is based on a WSDL port type definition. Essentially, a task represents a “service” that is “invoked” by an operation that contains input and optionally, an output and fault message. You must import a WSDL into your process and then select the port type and operation as an interface to the task. The operation can be a request-response type, or a one-way type. A one-way type requires that you add a call back operation.

If your process already contains an import for the WSDL that defines the Port Type and Operation then select the appropriate values.

If the operation is a request-only, then the Callback panel appears so that you can select a port type and operation for the reply.
