Web Service Wizard

CA Gen Web Service Wizard is a plug-in application that was developed using CA Gen. The Web Service Wizard allows you to create a web service from a CA Gen XML Java proxy.

The wizard reads information from the model that is currently opened in the CA Gen Toolset to determine what potential web services are available. The wizard looks for procedure steps that are packaged in server load modules and that are generated for the XML Java proxy.

The wizard generates the Java source code that calls the XML Java proxy. It also generates the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) file that describes the web service and the files needed by Apache-Axis to deploy the web service to that environment. After generation, the wizard can compile the generated Java source and, if the application server is installed locally, it can copy the files needed to deploy the service to the correct directories.

The wizard uses template files to generate its output. This allows you to customize the generated source to add more capability to the web service.
