NeuroSpeech research and development team has finally perfected Soap 1.2 Client Generator for various platforms and it is live today for Cocoa, Java, Flash and .NET platforms.
Web Service Connectivity
Although SOAP is very popular among ASP.NET developers, most of implementations of SOAP is either incomplete or very time consuming and needs more knowledge of XML and SOAP. Today we are building applications on variety of mobile platforms, that requires Web Service connectivity to servers to pull data and to perform business transactions. And today mobile platforms have become more powerful and that has given opportunity for us to deploy enterprise applications on mobile platforms. Today ASP.NET Web Services are very common way to communicate between enterprises and to develop service oriented applications. So there was a great need for powerful SOAP tools, and we identified that platforms like iPhone (iOS), Mac OSX, Android, Blackberry, Flash have very limited options for enterprise web service connectivity.
WSClient++ Program
WSClient++ program lets you define configurations of your enterprise connectivity and it generates source code that can be used without any knowledge of XML/SOAP. All you have to do is, configure your connectivity, i.e. specify the WSDL url, specify folder and files to be generated and hit the Generate button.
It is available for Mac OSX 10.5+ and for Windows XP SP2 onwards. This program is written in Adobe AIR, so that it is available on multiple platforms.
Key Highlights
- Objective-C source code generator, fully optimized for memory, asynchronous and synchronous client generator
- Java source code generator, full optimized for memory, fully implemented Parcelable interface for android
- Ability to generate source code of multiple web services in single namespace/package sharing single inheritance hierarchy
- Source code generated is formatted according to native platform requirements
- Additional libraries for XML/SOAP connectivity is included with source code
Known Limitations
As we are trying to provide facility for light platforms (mobile/flash) to connect to ASP.NET enterprise web services, every data type of ASP.NET is not supported yet. We do support multiple classes and class hierarchy but things like byte[] etc are not yet implemented, we support members of class should be only of type “Class” and “int, long, float, double, DateTime, bool and String” and arrays of supported types. As new versions will be available in future, we are working towards including byte[] and add more types to the program and we are working on implementing Soap with Attachments in near future soon.
