You can apply XML maps to a method or callback exposed to clients, as well as to the methods and callbacks of a Web Service control, a JMS control, and an Application View control.
In all cases, XML maps are a way to ensure loose coupling between your web service and the client or resource with which it is communicating. While topics in this section (beginning with Handling and Shaping XML Messages with XML Maps) describe maps primarily from the client-facing perspective, nearly all of the principles mentioned apply also in the case of maps on controls. For links to more specific information on using maps with controls, use the following links:
Note that XML maps works with the AppView control just as they do with the Web Service control.
