TIBCO Web Services: Top Interview Questions and Answers

Web Service Development in TIBCO is one of the key topic that becomes a prime focus when you go for an Interview for a TIBCO developer position in any organization. Keeping that in mind, I am writing this post that covers TIBCO Web services related top interview questions with their answers.

You can also refer to my blog posts on Developing SOAP Web Service in TIBCO and Developing RESTFul Web Service in TIBCO for step by step understanding of the concepts.

Q: What are the transport types we can use for TIBCO SOAP web services?

Ans: In TIBCO, we can create SOAP web services using HTTP or JMS as transport.

Q: What is the difference between Concrete and Abstract WSDL?

Ans: Abstract WSDL is used on the server side which contains all details about a service including its operations, messages and port type details without any transport details. On the other hand, Concrete WSDL is used in the client side in order to access the web service and consume its operations and It contains transport details along with that information which is available in the Abstract WSDL.

Q: What are the ways to create SOAP web service in TIBCO Designer?

Ans: In TIBCO designer, there are two ways to create a SOAP Web service:

1.  Contract first: In this approach, first abstract WSDL is created using WSDL palette and then web service is generated from the WSDL.

2. Code first: In this approach, processes are first developed/designed and then web service is generated from the processes.
