NonStop SOAP 4.1 User's Manual

The WSDL2C Tool

The WSDL2C tool is a standalone Java-based command-line tool that runs in the OSS environment

on NonStop systems. This tool uses a WSDL file as an input to generate the client stubs and service

skeleton files. The generated service skeleton files implement the basic interface code required

while developing a service using NonStop SOAP 4 service APIs.

NOTE:

• The WSDL2PWY tool must be used when developing services implemented as Pathway

applications.

• The WSDL2C tool must be used when developing services implemented as dynamic-link libraries

using NonStop SOAP 4 service APIs.

Figure 16 shows the files generated by the WSDL2C tool.

Generating NonStop SOAP 4 Client Stubs

The WSDL2C tool generates the NonStop SOAP 4 client stubs in the C programming language.

The generated client stubs contain the basic interface code to be implemented when developing

a client using NonStop SOAP 4 client APIs.

To generate the NonStop SOAP 4 client stubs using the WSDL2C tool, complete the following steps:

NOTE: Ensure that the WSDL file for your service is located in <NonStop SOAP 4 Deployment

Directory>. If the WSDL file is not present, use the SoapAdminCL tool to create a WSDL file

for your service. For information on generating the WSDL file, see NonStop SOAP 4 Configuration

Files (page 177).
