RE: Invoking Apache soap web services from browser client / IBM W SDE

["Ding, Chengmin" <Ch...@tfn.com>]

I tried to use WSDE to create a Browser Based Client but I could find the
instructions.
Could you tell me where to start? 

Thanks.

WSDE


Tom (and all),

Take a look at the 'Web Services Development Environment' at the IBM 
AlphaWorks website.  It requires some (heavy) downloads, but it's really 
worth it!  Among other things, it will automatically generate WSDL files 
from any java class or COM object, create BROWSER BASED CLIENT and deploy 
your services to Websphere or Apache.

I tested the toolkit with Apache and got the services running with both the 
generated browser clients and a self-built Visual Basic client using the 
low-level API in MS SOAP Toolkit 2.0.
