NAME

       ada2wsdl - Generate a WDSL document from an Ada package specification

SYNOPSIS

       ada2wsdl [options] ada_spec

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  Ser-
       vices.  This description consists of the end-point (URL to the server offering the service), the SOAPAction (needed to call the remote pro-
       cedure), 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.

OPTIONS

       -a url Specify  the  URL  for  the  Web Server address. Web Services will be available at this address. A port can be specified on the URL,
	      http://server[:port]. The default value is http://.../.

       -f     Force creation of the WSDL file. Overwrite exiting file with the same name.

       -I path
	      Add path option for the ASIS compilation step. This option can appear any number of time on the command line.

       -noenum
	      Do not generate WSDL representation for Ada enumerations, map them to standard string.

       -o file
	      Generate the WSDL document into file.

       -q     Quiet mode (no output).

       -s name
	      Specify the Web Service name for the WSDL document, by default the spec package's name is used.

       -v     Verbose mode, display the parsed spec.

BUGS

       ada2wsdl does not handle constrained arrays in records.

       Unbounded_String are supported with full interoperability only inside a record.

       Only unconstrained arrays are supported.

       Arrays with multiple dimensions are not supported.

NAME

       asistant - interactive command-line ASIS tool

SYNOPSIS

       asistant program

DESCRIPTION

       ASIS is the Ada Semantic Interface Specification; it is an application programming interface that allows Ada programs to inspect the struc-
       ture of other Ada programs.  GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler, can parse Ada source text and produce tree files suitable for use through ASIS.

       asistant is an interactive command-line tool with a simple language that allows you to inspect the semantic information	about  a  compiled
       program.  Thus you can learn ASIS and try ASIS queries interactively before writing them in your programs.

AUTHOR

       ASIS-for-GNAT  was originally developed	by the ASIS-for-GNAT team at the Software  Engineering	Laboratory  of	the Swiss  Federal  Insti-
       tute  of Technology (LGL-EPFL) in Lausanne,  Switzerland, in cooperation with the Scientific  Research  Computer  Center of   Moscow  State
       University  (SRCC  MSU),  Russia,  with funding partially provided  by grants from the Swiss National  Science  Foundation  and	the  Swiss
       Academy	of  Engineering Sciences.     ASIS-for-GNAT    is     now    maintained    by	 AdaCore (http://www.adacore.com).
