Open 4GL WebServices Description
Open 4GL WebServices is an opensource project to implement a wizard and a framework. Open 4GL WebServices is an opensource project to implement a wizard and a framework to make it easy to publish PROGRESS procedures as WebServices generating the WSDL and WS code, without requiring the developer to learn XML or the framework itself.With this tool the developer can select an existing PROGRESS procedure and produce the WSDL file and/or a proxy procedure that handle the SOAP call and translate between SOAP and PROGRESS datatypes. Open 4GL WebServices also can handle the WS-I security recommendation requiring a custom procedure to authenticate the user/password.Also, the generated proxy procedure is based on procedure templates (skeletons), these templates allow the developer to choose how to deploy the webservice. The developer can choose between webspeed, a batch version to call it from a CGI, a socket based version, or a custom template, etc.This kind of project had been there for years, i had read some documents about howto build it, but nobody had been released the complete solution as open source by now. It's an alternative to the commercial version distributed by PROGRESS, only that this version doesn't require Sonic MQ or the AppServer to run properly.Installation:Put the entire o4glws directory somewhere in the PROPATH and make a copy the file o4glws.i in any directory in the PROPATH of the deployment machine, because it's needed to compile the deployed webservice adapter procedures.INCLUDED FILESo4glwsAdapter.p Webservice adapter generator o4glwso4glws.i Library included in every adaptero4glwso4glws.w Wizard to generate adapter/WSDL fileso4glwsprocDlg.w Dialog to select the procedures to include in the webserviceo4glwsprocInfo.i Temp-table definitions used by all programs o4glwsprocInfo.p Extracts the information about internal procedure, functions and temp-tables of a procedure fileo4glwsREADME.TXT This fileo4glwsLicense.txt Software licenseo4glwstransparent.ico The wizard's icono4glwsWizard3.gif One of the wizard's images o4glwsSuccess.gif One of the wizard's images o4glwsError.gif One of the wizard's images o4glwsWSDL.p WSDL adapter generatoro4glwssample Samples of the generated code o4glwstemplates Templates used to generate adaptersWhat's New in This Release:· A "Unable to use Namespace: []" message was removed.· Malformed Web service addresses were corrected.· A problem where the generated WSDL did not correctly describe the output parameters of the Adapters was fixed.· Buffer handlers for output tables are no longer needed.· Date parameters are now supported.· Speed for output tables was optimized.· Expiration date and time parameters were added to securityTemplate.p.· A fault report was added. What's New in This Release: · This is the first functional release, and has been successfully tested with Axis. · Some datatypes were not well implemented and could not be handled by Axis 1.1; this has been fixed. · Adapter.p was not generating the call to the procedure adapter before calling a subprocedure; this has been fixed.
