Message Sets: Message category properties

A message category provides a way of grouping your messages.

The following table describes the properties that are associated with a message category:

Property Type Meaning
Category Kind Enumerated type This property describes the purpose of the message category.
Choose from the following values:
  • wsdl. This value is the default. Choose this value if the message category is to participate in the generation of WSDL documents. When the WSDL document is generated, the name of the message category provides the name for the <wsdl:operation> element that is generated for eligible messages in the message category.
    Note: Message categories are no longer necessary for the generation of WSDL documents; they were necessary in Version 6.0.
  • other. This value ndicates that the category represents a generic grouping of messages as an aid to organizing them in your workspace.
Category Usage Enumerated type Use this property to describe the operation type for a WSDL operation.
Choose from the following values:
  • wsdl:request-response. This is the default if Category Kind is wsdl.
  • wsdl:solicit-response.
  • wsdl:one-way.
  • wsdl:notification.
  • empty string. This is the default if Category Kind is other.
Documentation String Use this property to add information to enhance the understanding of an object's function.

This property is a string field; any standard alphanumeric characters can be used.

If Category Kind is wsdl, the value of the field is included in any generated WSDL as the wsdl:documentation child of the operation element in the WSDL portType.

If Category Kind is other, the value of the field merely documents the Message Category within your workspace.
