Using the PDD Editor Source View

The Process Deployment Descriptor editor validates the .pdd file against a schema. If the editor detects errors, it generates errors in the Error Log when you save the file.

You may wish to edit the file in the Source tab, which is a text editor, for convenience. For example, you can specify actual endpoint locations for each Web service, or you type in a URN.

To add static endpoint references:

1. For each partner link, do the following:
• Replace FILL_IN_NAMESPACE with the target namespace from the WSDL file where the partner link type is defined.
• Replace FILL_IN_ADDRESS_URI with the URI of the service as specified in the <service> section of the WSDL file for the service. Alternately, you can specify a URN, as described in Specifying a Replaceable URN/URL for an Endpoint Reference.
• Replace FILL_IN_PORT_NAME with the service port name as specified in the <service> section of the WSDL file for the service.
• Replace FILL_IN_SERVICE_NAME with the service name as specified in the <service> section of the WSDL file for the service.
2. Save the file.

Tips for using the PDD Editor Source tab:

• Be sure to check the Error Log for a list of errors and warnings.
• You can display line numbers in the editor, if desired. Right-mouse click in the Source view to select Preferences. Enable Show line numbers and other Text Editor preferences as desired.
