The Beehive web service control (WSC) is approaching code complete and needs testing!
For those of you who don't know the WSC is a Beehive system control which is generated from a WSDL file. The generated control contains public methods for each operation defined by the WSDL. Just invoke a control method to invoke the web service operation. Its just that easy. The easiest way to get started is to download the wscBeta workspace from http://cvs.apache.org/dist/beehive/wsc-beta1/wscBeta_blank.zip The beta workspace includes a README file which provides more detailed information about generating and using the control. Drop a WSDL file into the wsdls directory and write a few lines of code and you are ready to go. Or if you prefer, add a WSC to your pageflow or webapp. Supported web services ------------------------------------- Currently nearly all of the testing has been done with Apache AXIS 1.x, but just about any web service should work with the control. Some minimal testing has been done with: *) .NET *) NuSOAP *) Visual Dataflex *) Cold Fusion *) Deplhi *) SOAPLite Bug Reporting / Feedback --------------------------------------- When bugs are found file them in JIRA, try to include enough information so they can be reproduced, this would typically include the WSDL file used to generate the control. If you don't have a JIRA account or just don't want to create a JIRA bug, send an email to the Apache Beehive developer's mailing list, [email protected] Even if you don't have a bug to report it would be greate to hear any comments or ideas for enhancements to the WSC you might have. - Thanks, Chad
