fglwsdl

The fglwsdl tool produces web services stub files for client or server programs (from WSDL / XSD).

Syntax

fglwsdl command [options] parameter

command indicates what operation must be done by fglwsdl.
options are described in Commands and options.
parameter depends on the command used.

Commands and options

Table 1. fglwsdl commands
Command	Description
`-V`	Display version information
`-h`	Display this help
`-l`	List services from a WSDL or variables from a XSD
`-c [options] wsdl-spec`	Generate client stub (default) to be used in a GWS client application. `wsdl-spec` is the name of a WSDL description file or the URL of a WSDL description for a published web service. Typically, `http://host/service?WSDL`. The `options` are listed in Table 2 and Table 4.
`-s [options] wsdl-spec`	Generate server stub to be used in a GWS server application. `wsdl-spec` is the name of a WSDL description file or the URL of a WSDL description for a published web service. Typically, `http://host/service?WSDL`. The `options` are listed in Table 2 and Table 4.
`-x [options] xsd-spec`	Generate BDL data types from a XML schema (XSD). `xsd-spec` is the name of an XML schema file or the URL of an XSD schema resource on the web. The `options` are listed in Table 3 and Table 4.
`-regex regex value`	Validate the `value` against the `regex` regular expression described in XML schema specification.

Table 2. WSDL Options
Options	Description
`-o file`	Specify a base name for the output files.
`-n service port`	Generate only for the given service name and port type.
`-b binding`	Generate only for the given binding.
`-prefix name`	Add `name` as the prefix of the generated web service functions, variables and types. (`name` can contain %s for servicename, %p for portname and %f for filename)
`-compatibility`	Generate a Genero 1.xx compatibility client stub.
`-fRPC`	Force RPC convention; use RPC Convention to generate the code, regardless of what the WSDL information contains.
`-disk`	Save WSDL and all dependencies from an URL on the disk. Note: To generate code at the same time, you must use the option -c, -s, or both. Otherwise, no code is generated.
`-domHandler`	Generates the use of DOM in the client stub and calls to callback handlers.
`-alias`	Generates FGLPROFILE Logical names in place of URLs for the client stub.
`-soap11`	Generates only client and server stubs supporting SOAP 1.1 protocol.
`-soap12`	Generates only client and server stubs supporting SOAP 1.2 protocol.
`-ignoreFaults`	Do not generate extra code to handle soap faults.
`-wsa <yes\|no>`	Force support of WS-Addressing 1.0 if yes, disable support of WS-Addressing 1.0 if no, otherwise support WS-Addressing 1.0 according to the WSDL definition.

Table 3. XSD Options
Options	Description
`-o file`	Name of the output file. If `file` has no extension, .inc is added.
`-n name [ns]`	Generate only for the given variable name and namespace (if there is one).
`-prefix name`	Add `name` as the prefix of the generated data types.
`-disk`	Save XSD and all dependencies from an URL on the disk. Note: No code is generated.

Table 4. Common options
Options	Description
`-comment`	Add XML comments to the generation.
`-fArray`	Force XML array generation instead of XML list when possible. If the WSDL contains an XML definition of a BDL list, generate a BDL array matching the same definition.
`-fInheritance`	Force generation of XML choice records for all inheritance types found in the schemas, otherwise only for abstract types and elements.
`-fInlineTypes`	Force generation of `TYPE` definitions for all global inlined types found in the schemas.
`-noFacets`	Don't generate facet constraints restricting the value-space of simple data type.
`-legacyTypes`	Don't generate BIGINT, TINYINT and BOOLEAN data types.
`-ignoreMixed`	Ignore attribute mixed="true" in XML schemas when generating code.
`-ext schema`	Add an external schema. See option '-extDir'.
`-extDir directory`	Add all external schema files ending with .xsd in the directory. Note: External schemas for dependencies won't be included in the WSDL description or in the XSD schema if their location attributes are missing. Use this option to add a missing external schema for a WSDL or XSD dependency.
`-noValidation`	Disable XML schema validation warnings.
`-autoNsPrefix nb`	Automatic prefix generation for variables and types using a substring of the namespace by removing the nb first elements (-1 means only the last element). For example: If a variable belongs to the namespace `http://www.mycompany.com/Global/Service`, a value of -1 will give `Service` as a prefix, and a value of 1 will give `Global_Service` as a prefix.
`-nsPrefix ns value`	Add value as prefix of the generated variables and types belonging to namespace ns (supersede the -prefix and the -autoNsPrefix option, and can be called several times).

Table 5. Network options (when specifying an URL)
Options	Description
`-noHTTP`	Disable HTTP - search for the WSDL description or the XML schema and its dependencies on the client instead of the internet. Useful, for example, if a company has restricted access to the internet.
`-proxy location`	Connect via proxy where location is host[:port] or ip[:port].
`-pAuth login pass`	Proxy authentication login and password.
`-hAuth login pass`	HTTP authentication login and password.
`-cert cert`	File of the X509 PEM-encoded certificate for HTTPS purpose.
`-key key`	File of the PEM-encoded private key for HTTPS purpose.
`-wCert cert`	Certificate name in the Windows™ keystore for HTTPS purpose (Windows only).
`-CA list`	A filename with the list of concatenated X509 PEM-encoded certificate authorities. (On Windows, if not set, the Certificate Authority list of the key store is used).

Usage

The fglwsdl command line tool produces the WSDL description of a web service that will be accessed by a GWS client application, or to define a WSDL description to creating a corresponding GWS server application. The tool generates the BDL data types from XML schemas (also known as XSD).

To access a remote web service, you must get the WSDL information from the service provider. Sample services can be found through UDDI registries (http://www.uddi.org) , or on other sites such as XMethods ( http://www.xmethods.net).
