SOAP Wizard improvements
Now that TestMaker 4.4 is out I am returning to the SOAP Wizard. I am
seeking your help at a better design. TestMaker has a utility to
create jUnit TestCase classes from a WSDL document. It is similar in
function to wsdl2java.
The current code looks at the WSDL definition for a service using
SOAP encoding and stubs out the parameters to make it easier for the
user to know how to construct the SOAP request.
For a SOAP service using Document-literal or wrapped attributes I
would like to stub-out the attributes in a set of JDOM or Xerces
calls to construct the request. I have not found a library to help me
do this. Right now, just like with wsdl2java, the stub takes an
object and it's up to the user to figure out the correct parameters
within that object.
I experimented with wsdl2java in Axis 1.3. It does a good job - very
simple - at taking a WSDL document and create a client stub to call
the service. It would be easy to create the following in TestMaker:
wsdl2java -> compile into jar -> dynamic load jar in Jython -> write
jython TestCase script
but just as good is
wsdl4j -> write a Jython TestCase script
The problem is in support of complex data types. Neither gives you
support for easy (GUI-based, JDOM based, or Xerces based) creation of
the request document.
I have not found an open-source class that understands how to marshal
parameters for a Document-literal encoded SOAP call using complex
data types. Any ideas?
