RE: documentation generated from .wsdl

Tomi,

 

I like the view you've created, and would encourage a WSDL 2.0 equivalent as
well!  In conjunction with conventions for how structured
<wsdl:documentation> elements could be added to the display it would make an
invaluable tool.  I generate something similar but much more limited from
the WSDL [0], in this case abstracting out the differences between WSDL 1.1
and WSDL 2.0 representations of the service.

 

Incidentally I've also done something similar to your source code appendix
but a little more elaborate - an xslt stylesheet that pretty-prints the
source code of the WSDL and then makes QName and URI references clickable
for easy navigation, annotates items with their back-links, and generates
indexes of the constructs.  Stylesheets are available for WSDL 1.1, WSDL
2.0, and XML Schema 1.0.  You can get them at [1], or you can see an
annotated WSDL 2.0 example at [2], or the annotated schema for schemas at
[3].  They're under the Apache Open Source License.

Tomi, 

I see this is for WSDL 1.1. Have you thought of supporting WSDL 2.0? If you
want to contribute your code, maybe the Apache Woden project [1] could
provide a home. 

Another thought is to leverage the WSDL 2.0 Component Model Interchange
format [2] - an XML format that combines the content of multiple WSDL 2.0
and XSD files (via import and include) into a single file. This format is
used in the Test Suit and is implemented by Woden.

Maybe you could find useful my tool for WSDL documentation generation: the
wsdl-viewer.xsl ( <http://tomi.vanek.sk/index.php?page=wsdl-viewer>
http://tomi.vanek.sk/index.php?page=wsdl-viewer). This is just an XSLT 1.0
transformation that can run in any browser. The transformation converts WSDL
into easier understandable HTML format. You can create the documentation
either with batch processing (i.e. by ANT script), or simply by adding a
processing instruction into WSDL, so by opening the WSDL in a browser the
XML will be instantly converted into HTML.
