spectB

SpectB is a Java-based framework that supports building, testing, and deploying Web Service providers, specifically those implementing the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and SOAP protocols. It provides an integrated set of tools and utilities for creating, editing, and verifying WSDL and XML Schema (XSD) definitions.

Key features of SpectB include automatic generation of proxy classes from WSDL, handling of asynchronous messaging, and support for JMS (Java Message Service) and Apache CXF eventing. Additionally, SpectB allows for code generation from WSDL, minimizing the amount of code users need to write by hand.

The framework also supports and validates XML and XSD schema. It has the capability to both compile and parse WSDL definitions, and it includes tools for displaying and viewing definitions in both XML and text formats. Furthermore, SpectB integrates with tools and technologies like Eclipse, Java, and Apache CXF.

SpectB is often applied in situations where developers need to integrate third-party software services, Web services, or communications middleware components into their application codebases. This framework focuses on making this integration process faster and easier, and is particularly useful for the integration of JMS messaging, event-driven architecture, and asynchronous services.

Generally, SpectB serves as a resource for users of Java or other J2EE developers who are building Web services or integrating SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) components into their systems.
