The service could read the record from the database, compare it to the before-image
and write the after-image to the database only if the comparison showed identical
data. If the record had been altered, a returned message could alert you.
When invoking such a service, you would have to send both images as parameters.
Note When you send both before-images and after-images, be sure to reply with the contents of the record
after a successful update or insert operation. This ensures that the generated requester code keeps the
before-image data item current.
