alphaWorks


> The IBM Web Services Toolkit allows one to build Web services
> applications using SOAP, NASSL (a language for describing
> operational characteristics of services), WDS (a language for
> describing non-operational characteristics of services), a
> broker that allows publishing service descriptions (in terms
> of NASSL and WDS documents) and querying for services, and
> finally a client API for talking to the broker (via SOAP,
> of course) as well as to other services. An updated version
> of the NASSL toolkit to support dynamically setting the endpoint
> has also been posted. The toolkit can be run on any Java platform
> and pre-reqs IBM-SOAP 1.2 and Xerces 1.0.3.
>
> In addition to the toolkit a sample Web services application
> "Gourmet-2-Go" is available. It uses mock-up services for
> pricing groceries and delivering groceries to illustrate the
> service-oriented model. This application is built using the
> toolkit and also includes a nifty visual event viewer gizmo
> that makes it possible to "see" what's going on underneath
> in terms of talking to the broker etc.. The application is
> delivered as a pre-configured environment (it comes with
> config'ed versions of IBM-SOAP, Tomcat etc.) and requires
> JDK 1.2 to run.

> The toolkit and sample application are available at:
>     http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/webservicestoolkit
> and the updated NASSL toolkit is available as before at the
> SOAP4J downloads page:

> We look forward to receiving comments!
