I actually wrote an XMI to WSDL converter using the XMI from Borland
Together producing the XMI and converting to WSDL using the apache
Velocity template engine.

I'd be in an awkward position to mentor this as the work was written
for a client of my employer. I do know that the client would like to
see an open source solution but I'd compromise my situation to help
achieve this too closely.

The problem was (at least at the time of writing) that Borland
generated a fairly java-centric WSDL (not doc literal) that lost a
great deal of detail. Actually it was so poor I don't know how they
dared release it.

Other tools needed by the client dealt with something more MS centric
and the whole desire of interoperabilty didn't quite exist in the
tools at the time.

At this point I created the issue at
http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3161

A two way conversion would be very useful on several projects I've
come across. Typically there are Java->WSDL or WSDL->Java tools but
when it comes to contract first design there is not much around to
help in a standard way.

I support the need for this and would offer to help where I can but
I'd be in a difficult position to act as a direct mentor.

Regards

Bob

Philippe,

I'd read an article describing exactly what this tool
does and the idea can be used for components too
(there  is another article that mentions the
differences between components, objects and
e-services). The question is: Will this feature be
useful for ArgoUML? I'd like to submit a project for
Google Summe of Code.

Yours,

Artur Souza
