Creating new web service from scratch in Action

Here is the video for creating new web service from scratch





You need to create Dynamic Web Project in eclipse EE version.

Please excuse us for not having sound in the video.

We will improve the videos soon!!

CUD Operations feature is there now!!

After a long period of coding, finally we have the
Add, Edit, Remove operations functionality there.

The aim was to use the same UI for all 3 purposes so that users are comfortable while using the feature.










In case of Edit the dialog will get initialized with the First Method details of the Web Service which was already open in the Editor or user can browse for one.













In case of Remove all the non-editable fields are disabled and user can select the Web Service and the Method to be removed.

Web Service Development from existing Session Bean

New feature in MetroEclipsePlugin. Now plugin will supports webservice development from existing session bean. Webservice development wizard will have extra option to generate webservice from existing session bean in the project . Selecting that option will enable the next button in wizard and that will redirect to the displayed page. Using this page developer can specify the path of sessionbean from current project. Wizard will use selected session bean as a source and generate the destination webservice code from it. Wizard will display the developed webservice in editor.

AddNewOperation feature updated

This is the new screenshot of updated Add New Operation Dialog. To avoid legal problems we have discontinued the use of Jigloo plugin. We have redone the code that was generated by that plugin. Of course it takes long time to prepare UI manually but there is no alternative.
The current functionality allows user to add new Operation to the existing Web Service. Edit and Remove are not functional yet. The return type and argument type has some fixed types right now which will be enhanced in next step.

Add New Operation Dialog

Well Surprise, Surprise!!
Two updates in a single day!!

The Add New Operation to existing Web Service use case is in progress.
The UI part is almost final. The code generation part also looks like done.

Some issues that need to be fixed are Inserting code in between existing code, tabbing in the UI (Somehow it's not working) , inserting the option into the Right Click Menu, etc.

Now the problem with this Use Case was the requirement of designing the dialog from scratch. We started it by typing every single line and manually setting every property of every control.
Finally today on Sunday, a plugin was discovered and we started using it.
The plugin is called Jigloo. It provides the non-commercial version and which is suitable for our purpose. For more info go to
http://eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=472

Here is the screenshot of current state of this Dialog.

Create New Web Service Wizard

We havent been good at updating this blog but we are trying our best.
So here is the update.

The Create New Web Service Wizard is done and we just need to take care of few minor issues.
Because Eclipse generates the sample code for Wizard based on the template followed while creating Plugin project, this Use Case was relatively less complex.

Here is how the screen looks like right now.
