Here, we use WS-Addressing schema (http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing) to represent an endpoint reference, as shown in the following screenshot:

2. Drag-and-drop a new assign activity in between the <assign> activity named initialize_input_variable and the <invoke> activity named invoke_search_web_service. This assign activity is used to initialize the variable that holds the endpoint data and then that value is assigned to...
