Generating EGL and Web services

An EGL Service part, like a Library part, consists of a group of functions. Generating a service has some similarities to generating any other generatable part, but there are some unique aspects to generating services. This section covers topics related to generating EGL and Web services, including the following:

You can create several different kinds of EGL services, depending on your target system and EGL deployment descriptor settings. For an EGL Service, make sure you have the system build descriptor option set to the appropriate target system. If you plan to deploy an EGL Service as a Web Service, add a WebService entry for an existing EGL Service part to the EGL deployment descriptor.

The following table summarizes the kinds of EGL services available:
