Description Dave Nielsen

The current SOA discovery mechanism uses the file system to search for WSDL documents. But many times the WSDL document is not located on the users file system, but on the internet (HTTP). This creates unnecessary steps, as well as additional opportunities for error. This feature request is for the addition of HTTP support for opening a WSDL document, which is then used to create the client library. 

For example, the Eclipse STP user should be able to enter a URL such as http://ws.strikeiron.com/DnBQuickCheck2?WSDL  (see http://www.strikeiron.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p=343) into the SOA discovery mechanism, which would then use HTTP to download the WSDL document and generate the local client libraries for that web service.
