[Ws Wiki] Update of "FrontPage/Axis2/Tasks/Toolkit" by AjithRanabahu

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Ws Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by AjithRanabahu:
http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/Tasks/Toolkit

New page:
= Axis Toolkit =
Axis2 is meant to be a usable product and the key to this usability lies in the tool kit. Axis2 plans to ship the following tools.

 * Service Archive Generator -
 Axis2 requires the resources for a particular service to be archived into a single file of a given format. This archive also contains a descriptor (service.xml). Aim of the generator tool is to provide a user friendly, GUI based (preferably wizard type) mechanism for the users to easily generate the service archive.A nice-to-have feature is to make the generator IDE pluggable, for Intellij IDEA and Eclipse. 

 * Module Archive Generator -
 Axis2 modules are a collection of resources for implementing a particular feature (say Security). Modules too need a deployment descriptor (module.xml). Requirements for the module archive generator are same as for the service archiver.

 * Admin web application -
 Axis2 plans to be bundled with a complete administration web application. Functionality for the Administration web app is yet  to be finalized.

 * WSDL2??? tool -
 WSDL processor that generates stubs / skeletons is a must for Axis. However the plan is to provide a GUI for this and to incorporate the facility to generate stubs on other languages as well.
