What is a Service

The Integration perspective of Talend Studio combines data integration with Web services and enables the graphical design of a Service which includes a WSDL file and one or more data service Jobs that addresses all of the different sources and targets required to publish the Web service. The WSDL editor makes it possible to create and edit WSDL files graphically, automating most of the tasks involved with these processes.

This feature is not shipped with Talend Studio by default. You need to install it using the Feature Manager. For more information, see Installing features using the Feature Manager.

When you design a Service in the Integration perspective of Talend Studio, you can:

• Create new WSDL files or import existing WSDL files for structured viewing.

• Create, set, and delete WSDL objects.

• Access the structured view at any time to edit or document the WSDL objects in the Service.

• Associate Services with data service Jobs.

• Create and add items to the repository for reuse and sharing purposes (in other projects or Services or with other users).
