fglwsdl

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

Syntax

fglwsdl command [options] [ argument ]

command indicates what operation must be done by fglwsdl.
options are described in fglwsdl options.
argument is a parameter for command.

Options

Table 1. fglwsdl commands
Command	Description
`-V`	Displays version information.
`-h`	Displays options for the tool.
`-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.
`-fRPCNamespace`	Generate code to support the `namespace` attribute for RPC parameters.
`-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.
`-mtom { yes \| no }`	Override the WSDL MTOM policy with this option. If `yes`, generates the stub with MTOM support. If `no`, generates the stub without MTOM support. This option can be applied to the client side or server side.
`-xmlname`	Generate the name of variables with XMLName attributes when generating stubs. This option may be useful when you need to serialize sub records.

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.
`-hexb64AsString`	Generate all XSD base64 and hexBinary type as BDL STRING. If the WSDL has a Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) policy, the tool generates any xsd:base64Binary and xsd:hexBinary as a STRING data type with the XMLOptimizedContent attribute (instead of a BYTE data type). The STRING represents a file name on disk, that will be handled as a SOAP-attached file. Tip: This option is useful for avoiding loading a file into a BYTE each time you want to send a big file. If the WSDL does not have an MTOM policy, the tool generates any xsd:base64Binary and xsd:hexBinary as a STRING data type (instead of a BYTE data type). The programmer is responsible for setting a base64 or hexbinary value to the STRING in order to avoid a XML serialization error with the peer, as the latter expects a base64 or an hexbinary value.

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 the attribute `mixed="true"` that allows mixed content to appear between child elements of complexType elements in XML schemas. When generating code from a WSDL using mixed complex types (`<xs:complexType mixed="true">`), fglwsdl will produce an error message: `Mixed complexType is not supported` if the option is not used.
`-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 purposes (Windows only).
`-CA list`	A file name 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 for 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, for example (http://www.uddi.org).
