Welcome to the home page for SOAP Builders effort at Sun Microsystems, Inc. SOAP Builders is a loosely organized forum of SOAP vendors working towards a testbed for interoperability testing between SOAP implementations. Interoperability is demonstrated by implementing a canonical set of tests that are collectively defined by the participants in the forum. Vendors prepare test specifications for testing interoperability between their implementations. Each vendor then publishes their service endpoints publicly so that other vendors can test their clients against them and vice versa. Any issues are then resolved through email on the discussion list. SOAP Builders is driven by quarterly face-to-face meetings, during which these tests are defined. During the face-to-face meeting, clients and service end points can be implemented, and interoperability can be tested in a "interop-athon" setting. After the face-to-face meeting, additional test development can occur, and vendors can publish their service endpoints and test results with other implementations. The test specifications are defined by the participating vendors and classified in "rounds." Each "round" consists of multiple "groups." Each "group" is a collection of test specifications arranged logically. Each test specification is defined as a combination of WSDL and a textual description of the tests within that WSDL. Test specifications, Sun's service endpoint and client results for each round are accessible from the links at left. For more information, please contact web master. |
