Samy WSO2's Open Source app server has a nice stylesheet for viewing WSDL. It certainly helps navigate it, and all you need to do is add a single line to the WSDL for it to view nicely in a browser.
You need the files and XSL stylesheets in this directory: https://wso2.org/repos/wso2/wsas/java/trunk/modules/www/styles/ Put them in a /styles/ directory, or edit the internal links so they work. You can add this to the WSDL file at the top to make the browser pick up the right stylesheet: <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/styles/annotated-wsdl.xsl"?> Paul On 1/18/07, Samy Mechiri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok thank you everyone for your proposals. In the end I will probably end writing that small app myself. Everything your proposed are fine tools but none outputs the results with the simplicity I aim. What I want is when you look at an operation you have a direct insight of what are the inputs and what are the ouputs (in term of primitives) What I don't want is when you look at an operation you have the name of input/output messages then you have to search those messages which may be complex types and then you have to naviguate to those types and go back the messages for the name of the next complexType you wanted to look and then go back to the types definition (when it's not in another file) etc. Since I don't mean to use it on huge wsdls, I will write a small program doing what I want. Thank you again for taking the time to answer. regards, Samy MECHIRI - Software Engineer KXEN - 92158 Suresnes CEDEX FRANCE ________________________________ From: Cox, Brian (GE Infra, Energy) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 17 janvier 2007 19:40 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Do you know a tool to easily visualize a wsdl file ? Although it is not necessarily small application, you might try NetBeans 5.5 with the Enterprise pack. I have attached a screen capture. The "Port Types" section displays the information you are interested in, however, no text/html dump that I am aware of. -----Original Message----- From: Samy Mechiri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 8:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Do you know a tool to easily visualize a wsdl file ? Hi everyone, do you know any small, easily usable tool to visualize what operations (and their arguments) are available on a wsd file ? There seem to be nusoap having such a tool (i've read about it on http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/1388) but I could not find any reference to it on nusoap's web page. Ideally it would output the results as a txt or html file Thank you for reading.
