pl_WST

is the port of Web Service Toolkit (WST) library to CodeTyphon Studio.

Web Service Toolkit (WST) contains a server side framework and a WSDL based type library editor for service creation.

WST is made of two parts :

a set of programs : “typ_lib_edtr” a WSDL based type library editor,
a command line tool “ws_helper” and a IDE integration package which contains some wizards,
a collection of runtime units.

Given an interface definition file (a WSDL file or a pascal file describing a web service),
“ws_helper” (or within IDE, the WSDL file importer wizard) will create a object pascal unit containing a proxy implementing that interface.

At runtime when a call targeting the web service is issued, the proxy's role is to :

marshall the call paramaters,
make the call to the target web service,
receive the call return and unmarshall output parameters to the caller.

Behind the scene, the proxy will take care of the SOAP plumbing details.

Key features are:

Service definition ( interface ) is separated from implementation,
Interface and implementations are not bound to message protocol,
WSDL generation
Support for SOAP 1.1 serialization
Support for XMLRPC serialization
Support for custom binary serialization
The framework is not bound to a transport protocol
Easy to add support for application servers.

Type Library Editor features:

Graphical user interface
WSDL source view
Pascal source view of the library
Pascal Proxy source view
Pascal implementation skeleton source view
Pascal Proxy binder view
enumeration creation interface
class creation interface
array creation interface
type alias creation interface
service interface creation interface.
