Deploying a document service


The development phase of the document service is complete, so now it is ready to be deployed. We need an enhanced integration port for this service because we will demonstrate how to use the getKeys and getChangedKeys operations. These operations require that document filters are enabled, a feature that is only available on enhanced ports.

The steps that need to be performed to create an enhanced port have already been described in Chapter 2, Service Architecture and Deployment. Look for the section on Enhanced ports and follow the steps in it to create one. Make sure the Port name field is set to CVRDocumentServicesEnhanced and that all of the service operations of the CVRTitleDocumentService service are added to the exposed service operations.
