Welcome to Quadra Xenon
What is Xenon?
Welcome to Xenon! Our goal is to make Web Services testing easier by making call dynamically, offering only an address point to a wsdl url.
Quadra Xenon is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") submission to W3C.
From the draft W3C specification:
SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.
The initial Xenon project has three pieces.
- API: Installing the xenon.jar you have the ability to load a wsdl, build a soap message for each operation exposed and call it. The xenon api offer a raw xml message support.
- Web Application: A lightweight, web application offer a client application to manage the xenon api.
- Eclipse Plugin: A lightweight, Eclipse plugin offer an interface to manage the xenon api and call web services.
In addition, Xenon includes a set of system controls that are abstractions for low-level J2EE resource APIs such as EJB, JMS, JDBC, and web services.
