Other Service Parameters
• The DDLMapping parameter setting determines the use of the DDLMapping.xml file for
processing a SOAP message. If the parameter is set to Yes, then the NonStop SOAP 4 server
uses the DDLMapping.xml file for processing the SOAP message, otherwise, it uses the
WSDL file for processing the SOAP message. For example, when the NonStop SOAP 4 server
finds the following entry in the services.xml file, it reads the DDLMapping.xml file:
< parameter name=”DDLMapping”>Yes< /parameter>
The SoapAdminCL tool generates the DDLMapping.xml file for specific conditions that
cannot be processed by the NonStop SOAP 4 server with the information in the WSDL file.
The SoapAdminCL tool sets this parameter in the generated services.xml file.
• The AlignmentRule parameter setting determines the alignment rule. For information about
the valid parameter settings, see the following tables. The default is even for COBOL services
and datatype for C services. For example, the NonStop SOAP 4 server aligns the data
elements according to the element datatype when it finds the following entry in the
services.xml file.
< parameter name=”AlignmentRule”>datatype< /parameter>
NOTE: The COBOL services cannot have specific elements of a structure marked as SYNC.
All elements within a structure must be marked as SYNC. If all the elements of a structure are
marked as SYNC, use the datatype setting.
The following tables list the valid settings for this parameter for C and COBOL services.
