### Business Service General Configuration page

Use the AquaLogic Business Service General Configuration page to specify general configuration settings for a business service. This page appears both in the New AquaLogic Business Service wizard and in the AquaLogic Business Service editor. Options vary, depending on whether you are using the wizard or the editor, as described below.

#### New AquaLogic Business Service Wizard Options

The following table describes the options in the wizard:

Option | Description
--- | ---
Description | Enter a description for this service.
Service Type - Create a New Service (wizard only) A service type defines the types and packaging of the messages exchanged by the service. Select the type of business service to create:
WSDL Web Service | Select this option to create a business service based on a WSDL. Then, enter the WSDL name, qualified by its path (for example, `myProject/myFolder`/`myWSDL`). Alternatively, click Browse to select a WSDL resource. (port or binding) - Enter the name of a port (defined in the WSDL) to describe an actual transport address, or enter the name of a binding (defined in the WSDL) to map to a transport address. If you use Browse to select a WSDL, as described above, the Select a WSDL Definition dialog lists any ports and bindings defined in the WSDL. When you choose a port or a binding on that page, the (port or binding) field is filled with the selected name.
Transport Typed Service | Select this option to create a service that uses EJB transport.
Messaging Service | Select this option to create a service that exchanges messages of different content-types. These exchanges can be either request/response or one-way. They can also have a response with no request when used with the HTTP `GET' option for the HTTP transport. Unlike Web Services, the content-type of the request and response need not be the same.
Any SOAP Service | Select this option to create a SOAP service that does not have an explicitly defined, concrete interface. Select SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2 from the drop-down list to specify the SOAP version to be used.
Any XML Service | Select this option to create an XML service that does not have an explicitly defined, concrete interface. HTTP GET is only supported for messaging services and this service type.
Service Type - Create From Existing Service Choose one of these options to create a service based on another service.
Business Service | Select this option to clone an existing business service. Enter the path (`project/folder`) and the name of the business service; or click Browse to select a service. Since ALSB does not accept the same URI for multiple services, you must change the URI for the cloned service.
Proxy Service | Select this option to create a business service based on an existing proxy service. Enter the path (`project/folder`) and the name of the proxy service; or click Browse to select a service. Since ALSB does not accept the same URI for multiple services, you must change the URI for the cloned service.

#### AquaLogic Business Service Editor Options

The following table describes the options in the editor:

Option | Description
--- | ---
Description | Enter or modify a description for this service.
Service Type (editor only) | This option shows the service type of the business service. You can change only some of the properties of some of the service types: WSDL Web Service - You can enter (or click Browse to select) a different port or binding from the same WSDL. You can also specify a different WSDL, but by doing so, you are effectively creating a new service and you will have to configure it as if it were a new service. Transport Typed Service - This option cannot be modified. Messaging Service - This option cannot be modified. Any SOAP Service - You can change the SOAP version (SOAP 1.1 or SOAP 1.2) Any XML Service - This option cannot be modified.
