The W3C WSDL 2.0 working group is holding an Interoperability Event in Toronto this week to review WSDL 2.0 implementations from Apache Woden and Canon, France.
The goal is to help the working group progress the WSDL 2.0 spec from Candidate Recommendation to Proposed Recommendation as quickly as possible, to help conclude the WSDL 2.0 working group's efforts over the last 4.5 years. The objectives for the event are to: 1. Check compliance with the WSDL 2.0 spec of the two parser implementations. 2. Validate the spec, by exposing any difficulties/issues in implementing it. 3. Create more WSDL 2.0 test cases to improve the W3C test suite's coverage of the spec. 4. Evaluate/improve the test results of both implementations against the test suite. 5. Test interoperability via SOAP messaging between Axis2/Woden and Canon's web services engine. Chathura Herath is attending the event to represent Axis2, John Kaputin and Lawrence Mandel are representing Woden. Arthur Ryman is also representing Woden and is hosting the event at the IBM Toronto Lab on behalf of the working group. Day 1 was yesterday, 5th July. After introductions and agreeing the objectives, we sucessfully completed the SOAP interop testing, with Axis2 generating client and service from WSDL 2.0 documents via Woden, Canon doing the same using its parser, then a progression of tests leading to Axis2 client talking to Canon service and Canon client talking to Axis2 service (well done on the Woden/Axis2 integration Chinthaka, thanks!). Some further work was done on Woden around extensions to correct it's conformance with the spec and improve its results against the W3C test suite. Oh, and out of courtesy to Canon France we projected the France/Portugal world cup semi-final on the screen while the testing was going on! regards, John Kaputin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
