Calling Web Services using Process Server

Process Server has had a mashup control since version 9.1.3, called TriggerPanel. It could be used to trigger a process flow without returning data from the flow itself.

In order for the mashup to be able to automatically generate a UI and to be able to create an object model that can be used for easy binding the XML has to be according to a specific schema.

The XML schema describes a Header section and any number of Detail sections. The service has to at least return an xml document with only the root. The root element name is ProcessResponseHeaderDetails. Returning no Xml at all will result in an error dialog informing that no data was returned from the service. Continue reading →
