Overview

Where Baan IV is mentioned you can also read Baan 5.0.

To set up a web service for a BOI business interface:

  1. Ensure the appropriate BOI business interface implementations are available on the Baan IV applications server you want to use for the web-based integration. Check whether the Baan IV server and BOI implementations meet the requirements of the connector.
  2. Configure the connections between the Connector for Web Services and the Baan IV servers.
  3. Create the web service for a BOI interface by importing the corresponding WSDL file and deploying this file to the Tomcat web server that runs the Connector for Web Services (a web application called c4ws).
After you carried out previous steps, you have a running web service that is ready to be consumed by a web client application. The development of such a web client application simply consists of standard web services development procedures and is therefore not explained in detail.
For the configuration of the connection with the Baan IV servers, see Configuring Infor LN or Baan application servers.

If no suitable BOI interfaces are available, you can implement a BOI interface on a Baan IV server using the Implementation Generator of Infor LN Studio. For more information about this subject, see the LN Studio documentation.
