AWS-WSDL Plugin: a Web Service Description Generator Based on Profile Annotation

Abstract:

Users increasingly expect the Web Service to be dependable and usable, despite of their own profile, preference, needs and context. In this sense, discovering a desired and adapted Web Service by a changing user’s profile is becoming an emergent and challenging research problem. Therefore, El Hog et al. [2] proposed a new extension of the WSDL description that integrated user’s profile: starting by proposing a AWS-UML [1] to adapt user profile via an UML profile following by proposing a AWS-WSDL [2] approach. In this paper, we propose an Automatic Programming tool called AWS-WSDL Plug-in to generate the web services description file that could add nonperformance and context information in WSDL file. AWSWSDL Plug-in permits the developer to generate in a dynamic and transparent way the new WSDL file in a few minutes. This extension will provide users with a Web Services that are adapted not only to their preferences but also to their needs and context. Subsequently, we developed a Multi-view service to test and validate the AWS-WSDL extension.
