XINS 2.1 , an open-source Web services development framework, has been
released.
XINS accepts the following protocols: REST, SOAP, XML-RPC, XML, Yahoo!
JSON and JSON-RPC.
From the specification of the API written in simple XML, XINS generates:
* Documentation of the specifications and implementations in HTML and
in OpenDocument format
* Test forms, for testing your applications with a browser
* Client-side Java code, supporting load-balancing, fail-over and
time-out handling
* Server-side Java skeleton
* Web application (WAR file)
* WSDL, for SOAP-interoperability
* SMD, for the Dojo toolkit
* Unit test code, based on JUnit
* Stubs, typically used for testing
The 2.1 release adds the following main features:
* Start the API with java -jar <api name>.war
* Improved generated specification in OpenDocument Format
* Include/exclude calling convention with ACLs
* New calling convention that maps SOAP request and response as the
wsdl2api command mapping.
