Calling operation of the exposed BO Service in another Application Service

Question

Hi,
I am working on Composite Application development in CE7.1.
I have the following scenario:
A business object is exposed as a web service.
The web service of the business object is imported as an external service in another CA Application.
On the composite application explorer,
under the "composite application --> external --> External Services" node I can see both the operations provided from the exposed business object.
My Question: If I define an operation on the application service as implemented, how can I call the operations of the exposed business objects?
Thanks,
Yasar

Hi Yasar,
Fallow the fallowing steps.
1)  First expose your BO(Exp_BO) as a web service.
2) Import that web service( (Exp_BO) as an external service in what ever project you want.
3) create an application service(eg AppService)
4) right click the imported external service and choose default mapping. select "create methodes in existing application service" and choose AppServioce.It will create the methodes with same name and map them to the Exposed BO methodes.
5)Next in the implemted method call the web service(ExpBO) methodes.
I am giving an example:
LocalInventorBO is the local BO.
Inventor is the Exposed BO.It is having a method create(inventorId).This create method dosn't return actual Inventor.But it will create InventorType.We have to use that type.
public com.hcl.ramp.types.LocalInventorBO CustomImplementedOperation(java.lang.String inventorId) throws com.sap.caf.rt.exception.CAFServiceException {
          com.sap.caf.demo_sap_com.xipvault_practice1.modeled.InventorType inventorType=this.create(inventorId);
          com.hcl.ramp.types.LocalInventorBO localInventorBO=     this.getLocalInventorBOService().create();
          localInventorBO.setInventorId(inventorType.getInventorId());
          return localInventorBO;
