RE: [wsvt-dev] what's the plan for wsvt?
|
Hi Lawrence,
Thanks a lot for quick response.
> d) Can you specify what you mean by "an independent toolkit'?
Independent toolkit, I mean three thing: one is wsvt is independend from eclipse, which is almost there right now except those build environments like build.xml
the other is that wsvt plugins are independend from one another. Currently wsdl.validate plugin, to my knowledge, has dependence from wsi-test-tools plugin. there's no way to simply use my own wsi-test-tools installation rather than the bundled one. we should make wsi-test-tools.home and even its schema location configurable.
the last one is the conformance validation of xml, wsdl and wsi should be independend from one another. Right now you can NOT do wsi vadlition if you don't do wsdl first, and you can't do wsdl validation without validating xml first.
thanks again,
--Bo
