Description
The Ada Web Server is a library that allows you to embed a web server into your Ada application. It
provides not only HTTP but also SOAP, WSDL and several other facilities. Thus you can write full-fledged
web applications.
WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) is a language based on XML. WSDL documents describe, in a formal
way, the interface to Web Services. This description consists of the end-point (URL to the server
offering the service), the SOAPAction (needed to call the remote procedure), the procedure names and a
description of the input and output parameters.
Using ada2wsdl, you can create a WSDL document that describes Web Services provided by an Ada package.
ada2wsdl uses ASIS to parse your Ada package specification, and generates a WSDL document by mapping Ada
types to Web Services types, and Ada subprograms to operations.
Please see the AWS User's guide for more details on how ada2wsdl works, and how you can use it to develop
web services.
