[announce] Dear www-ws@w3.org, We are pleased to announce the release of XMLSPY 5 - available immediately for free trial download at: http://www.altova.com/download XMLSPY 5 - Builds on the previous XMLSPY version by adding a WSDL editor, XML Schema driven Java/C++ code generation, XSLT debugging, HTML Importing, Tamino Integration, and much more. The new features are described in more detail below. * WSDL Editing A new Web Service Description Language (WSDL) editor allows you to edit, visualize and validate any WSDL file. WSDL is ideally suited as an Interface Definition Language (IDL) for architecting Web service applications. By first building an interface, client and server programmers can independently implement their respective programming contract using any language or operating system, avoiding interoperability problems. Also includes integration with XMLSPY's schema editor for editing of data-types, and generation of Java or C++ class files based on schema data-types. Ideal for use in conjunction with external tools that generate web service stubs from WSDL files. * XSLT Debugging XMLSPY 5 now includes a built in XSLT processor and XSLT debugger! Incrementally step through an XSLT transformation process with an intuitive 3-panel interface displaying the input XML document (with context node highlighted), the XSLT stylesheet (with current node highlighted), and the output document as it is being built in real-time. Set breakpoints on either the XSLT stylesheet or the XML input document; inspect variables, check the call stack, analyze node-sets, and more! * HTML Importing Convert any HTML page to a true XML-enabled site based on XSLT stylesheets for presentation, an XML Schema (or DTD) defining the content model, and the XML file containing the page content itself. XMLSPY 5 has a new HTML Importer that enables any web designer to easily perform HTML-to-XML migration through a visual drag-and-drop interface. Separate the presentation and content of any HTML page with by highlighting regions of an existing HTML file, then drag it across the screen and place it in a page content model. The resulting XML Schema/DTD, XSLT stylesheet, and XML content files are all auto-generated. * XML Schema Driven Code Generation XMLSPY 5 Enterprise Edition supports generation of Java / C++ class files based on XML Schemas to accelerate binding of XML Schema components to your software application. Additional language bindings will be added in subsequent releases, including support for generating Java files. The C++ generated output is uses MSXML 4.0 and includes a Visual Studio 6.0 project file; the generated Java output is written against the industry-standard Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP) and includes a Sun Forte for Java project file and Apache Ant build script. Additional code is implemented, such as functions which read/write XML files into a Document Object Model (DOM) in-memory representation and back to a file again, as well as XML validation and transformation. Generated code is completely customizable via a flexible template language which can be used to modify default templates or build new templates to generate any output files, for example, SQL scripts or ASP code.
