Christian Weyer: Smells like service spirit

What's first?

jWSCF 0.1

I am pleased to offer you our WSCF WSDL Wizard plugin for the Eclipse Java IDE: jWSCF.

This plugin is embedded into Eclipse and enables modelling and designing your Web Services interface contract without having to reveal to know all nittry-gritty - and honestly: unnecessary - details of WSDL 1.1. It uses our very successful WSCF, namely the WSDL Wizard component.







Installation:

  • Just unzip the ZIP file and drop the contained folder into your Eclipse plugin default folder (e.g. c:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins\).
  • Double-click the setup.bat file. This will register the necessary COM shim component.
  • To verify COM registration you may want to execute the two VBS files you can find in the folder. Make sure to adjust the path to the plugin which used in the .vbs files.

Pre-requisites:

  • .NET Framework 1.1
  • Eclipse 3.1

How to use it:

  • Import any XSD files that you want to use in your Web Service's interface description into a Eclipse project.
  • Right-click on the XSD which has your message structures defined.
  • Select 'WSCF' - 'Create WSDL...' from the context menu.
  • Use the wizard to fill in all necessary metadata in order to create your WSDL file at the end of the wizard process.
  • The newly generated WSDL file should now be incorporated into your Eclipse project.

or

  • Right-click on any WSDL file.
  • Select 'WSCF' - 'Edit WSDL...' from the context menu.
  • Use the roundtripping wizard to change your Web Service description.

Note:

  • There is no code generation support from WSCF. This can be achieved based on several available Eclipse plugins.
  • Although there is a checkbox in the wizard to launch code generation after the wizard has finished, this is not functionable in the Java version
Please report any issues and thoughts for improvements :)
Thanks!
