Integration with WSRR (or equivalent)?
Hello:
We have a SOA-centric client who is considering RTC. One question they had concerned web services. Since their code would use a number of running web services, the customer asked whether RTC could help detect whether a certain service (and ideally the expected version of it) is available in the registry, & whether RTC could make the WSDL available to help in the build phase. (The way he actually expressed it was: when he saw "components" in RTC, he wondered if a web service could be a component.) I said I didn't know of any such feature--the possibility that came to mind that a batch program could run periodically to download the WSDLs and put them in a component, but that's the best I came up with on the fly. It's kind of an amorphous question, but does anyone have any thoughts on it? |

It's important to distinguish the "development environment" of an
application (debuggers and compilers provided by an IDE) from the "source control and change management" of an application (provided by RTC). There are various relationships between these two environments, i.e. the source code managed by RTC, can be loaded into an IDE, and you could imagine wanting to ask "what source code provides a particular runtime service". This latter appears to be the kind of thing the customer is asking for. An IDE can answer this question, because it has semantic knowledge of the application, but an SCCM system is normally designed to not depend on the semantics of a particular language/application (so that the SCCM system can be used for an arbitrary language/application). But there are cases where you'd like to effectively do a "semantic query" against the SCCM repository (e.g. write a query that requires knowledge of the semantics of the artifacts being stored). We'd like RTC to be able to provide this kind of semantic query service against versioned objects, but I'd say that it does not yet provide it. Cheers, Geoff hcushing wrote: Hello: |
