OK, it's about time. There has been a lot of buzz around schema-based contract-first Web services design & developmentlately. Nearly everybody thinks that it is a good thing, and that we finally should reach a state where we all can live and breath it. But most people have been complaining about the lack of tool support for the so called 'first step'. We have two big steps involved:
Design your contract's messages and interface
Generate code from the contract
Our WSCF (aka WsContractFirst) tool has been quite good at the last one of the two points: code generation. But there always was a missing link to how to design and model the contract effectively.
Now we from thinktecture are proud to present the next version of our very successful and freely available WSCF. This new version 0.4 now offers a simple yet powerful WSDL Wizard that abstracts away all the nitty-gritty details of WSDL and therefore does not give room for making errors and wrong assumptions just by trying to use and applying everything that can be done stated by the original WSDL specification.
Additionally, we are finally offering a command line interface to the code generation engine, called wscf.exe. WSCF can thus be included in your batch scripts and/or build process.
