    Help with LOB / web service integration and SmartObjects

    Hi Guys,

    This is probably quite an easy question, but for some reason I'm having trouble with it Indifferent
     

    Basically, I'm interested in achieving the LOB / web service integration via SmartObjects, as shown in the help under "Services":

    ms-help://SourceCode.Help/K2Blackpearl/Reference%20-%20Services.html

    There are two problems that I have:

    Firstly, I can't find any documentation that goes any further than the cool diagram, which shows exactly what I want to do, but not how.... am I just missing something?

    Secondly, without docs, I've imagined this would work as follows:  You create a web service, and somehow register it in K2, probably via the object browser.  The web service's WSDL would get enumerated, and each method would then become available, similar to how other smart objects have create, update, etc.  You then create a smart object, remove the SmartBox methods, and add your own ones, specifying the web service methods as the ones to use as well as field mappings.  The problem is that I can't seem to register my web service anywhere.  I've tried "Add new field" in the object browser, and selecting "web service URL", but that just seems to create a config setting (i.e. entry in the string table) with the URL.  Any help would be appreciated Smile

    Thanks,

    Daniel.
