You can build a SOAP service as a standalone microservice from the Talend Studio.

## About this task

Before you build the microservice, create the SOAP service and assign a Data Service Job to each service operation. For more information, see [Creating a Service](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/creating-a-service) and [Assigning a data service Job to a service operation](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/assigning-data-service-job-to-service-operation).

Information noteImportant: A SOAP service built as a microservice cannot register with Service Registry and does not support ESB Service features.

## Procedure

1. Open the SOAP service in the design workspace.
2. In the Deployment view of the Services tab, select Microservice from the Build Type list. Save the service.

## Results

A standalone SOAP microservice is created as a fat .jar file.
