Re: How to Wrap a Collection with IBM WSTK?

[Christoph C. Cemper / privat]

IBM WSTK 2.3 has no support for complex types which will need here.

We were troubling round with a few tools for "Web Service Generation" and
finally
came to the conclusion, that

    - interoperability
    - non-proprietarity
    - feature-support

make a manual implementation of WSDL + proxy + + necessary...

AFAIK there is no "solution", just a bunch of tools that help you here and
there with a Quote-Webservice
or a Helloworld-Web Service, but as soon as you tend to implement real
applications you reach the
limit of those "point-and-click"-programming tools...

But I don't know about future versions of WSTK - according to an IBM guy
(Tony) the new WSTK should
support much more things.

This information/evaluation is about 4 weeks old and might be superseded by
better/newer products - any help/infos appreciated (non-commercial)


hope this helps,
