### Proxy Service General Configuration page

Use the AquaLogic Proxy Service General Configuration page to set or modify general configuration properties for a proxy service. This page appears both in the New AquaLogic Proxy Service wizard and in the AquaLogic Proxy Service editor: Options vary, depending on whether you are using the wizard or the editor, as described below.

#### New AquaLogic Proxy Service Wizard Options

The following table describes the options in the wizard:

Option | Description
--- | ---
Description | Enter a description for this proxy service.
Service Type - Create a New Service | Select the type of proxy service to create, as described below.
WSDL Web Service | Select this option to create a proxy 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, the Select a WSDL Definition dialog lists any defined ports and bindings.
Note: | If you are going to use the SOAP Body Type for operations, ensure that the WSDL does not have two operations with the same input message. The SOAP Body Type operation cannot be uniquely identified by inspecting the input message.
Messaging Service | Select this option to create a service that can receive messages of one data type and respond with messages of a different data type. These exchanges can be either request/response or one-way. (HTTP GET is supported only in the Any XML Service and Messaging Service service types.)
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 supported only in the Any XML Service and Messaging Service service types.)
Service Type - Create From Existing Service | Choose one of these options to create a service based on another service.
Note: | When a proxy service is created from another service, alert rules are maintained in the following way:
When a proxy service is created from a business service or a business service is created from a proxy service, the alert rules, if any, are removed. When a proxy service is created from another proxy service or a business service is created from another business service, the alert rules, if any, are retained.
Business Service | Select this option to create a proxy service with a route node that routes to the business service you select. You cannot create a proxy service from a transport typed business service. If you create a proxy service from a DSP transport business service, ALSB switches the transport type of the proxy service to HTTP, because the DSP transport cannot be used for proxy services. You can change the transport type of the proxy service to any other available transport. Enter the path (`project/folder`) and the name of the business service; or click Browse to select a service.
Proxy Service | Select this option to clone 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.
Content Streaming | Select this option to stream message content rather than store it in memory. Select the Enabled check box and whether to buffer the intermediate content in memory (Memory Buffer) or to a disk file (Disk Buffer). For more information, see Streaming body Content in the AquaLogic Service Bus User Guide.

#### AquaLogic Proxy Service Editor Options

The following table describes the options in the editor:

Option | Description
--- | ---
Description | Enter a description for this proxy service.
Service Type (editor only) | This option shows the service type of the proxy 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.
Content Streaming | Select this option to stream message content rather than store it in memory. Select the Enabled check box and whether to buffer the intermediate content in memory (Memory Buffer) or to a disk file (Disk Buffer). For more information, see Streaming body Content in the AquaLogic Service Bus User Guide.
