Presentations on WS (and -deployment)

Related presentations from external sources: More presentations can be found in the EGEE NA3 training archive, in the modules on SOAP, Web Services, WSDL and SOAs.

WSDL examples

These examples use the RPC/encoded style, and have been shown to work with implementations in Java (Axis 1.2) or SOAPpy. gLite WDSL is (C) the EGEE Consortium, 2004-2006. SaraGridServiceLCG WSDL by Bart Heupers.

The Cape Clear SOA Editor was once available from here as "SOAEditor.exe". Sorry, it now seems to be replaces by a 15-day demo of the full thing.
