TRODLService

Overview

TRODLService is a class that represents a service element in a RODL file.

Use Case

This class is used internally for auto code generation and conversion from RODL into different formats (such as WSDL for SOAP clients). You may use this class to gain access to RODL meta data (as described in Manipulation of RODL Meta Data this article).
