5. We will now create a Proxy Service (incoming) and Business Service (outgoing)
to take input from the BPEL PermitProcess flow and call the CreditScore web service
we deployed in Lab 2. The Proxy Service will use the same WSDL definition as our
web service so payloads will easily map. Even though this is a simplistic example, it
enforces the notion that all messaging in our design will be brokered by the service
bus.
