Auto-generated testing form for XFire web services
--------------------------------------------------
Key: XFIRE-974
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/XFIRE-974
Project: XFire
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.2.5
Reporter: Stephen Schaub
Assignee: Dan Diephouse
Priority: Minor
Attachments: patch.zip
The attached patch to XFire 1.2.5 is a proof-of-concept that implements two
features:
* Auto-generated service descriptions
* Auto-generated web testing forms
Background: One of the things .NET provides that XFire doesn't is a nice
auto-generated testing web interface. This sort of functionality is
particularly useful when you are learning about web services and experimenting
with simple methods that
don't take complex parameters.
When you point your browser to a web service, currently XFire (1.2.5) displays
a message "Invalid SOAP request." There is a TODO comment in the source of
XFireServletController that reads "generate service description here". I merely
added code to generate that service description. Each generated method
signature has a link that brings up a testing form. The user enters values for
the parameters, clicks "Execute", and the web method is invoked and its output
displayed.
