SOA Composer is a solution for CA Gen to

  • visualize XML or SOAP mappings to Gen views
  • consume or provide Web Services using HTTP, MQ or other means
  • encode or de-code XML or SOAP content from/to Gen views

Some examples of what you can do with SOA Composer:

  • Visually design an XML Data Binder to either create or parse a specific XML document.
  • Create an SOA Message Exchange Manager to consume a web serviceCreate an SOA Reader Manager for a web service to read a SOAP message from an external source
  • Create an SOA Writer Manager for a web service to create and send a SOAP message to an external source
  • Generate an External Action Block in C, Cobol or Java to implement these different types of handlers.
  • Design an XML document or SOAP message based on:
    • CA Gen attribute views
    • Custom XML structure
    • WSDL
    • XML Schema file
    • XML instance file
  • Validate an incoming XML document or SOAP message based on:
    • Well-formalness
    • Missing elements/attributes
    • Foreign (unknown) elements/attributes
    • Domain specific numeric, date, time and timestamp patterns.
  • Automatically convert domain values including:
    • Date/time/timestamp value formatting

SOA Composer Lite

SOA Composer Lite is a free, restricted functionality version of the full production version of SOA Composer for educational and evaluation purposes. Its main purpose is to acquaint CA Gen developers with the many features of SOA Composer.

The restrictions imposed on the Lite version of SOA Composer include:

XML documents and SOAP messages are limited in length to 4094 bytes. You will be permitted to create them and to save them however you will not be permitted to generate them. This limitation applies to the XML document buffer of a traditional data binder reader or writer but also to the internal length of the request or response SOAP messages.
 
You will not be permitted to perform version control on any handlers. Version control is an automated mechanism by which changes to the CA Gen view structures of the EAB can be adopted into an existing handler without disrupting the mapping to or the structure of the XML document or SOAP message. A change in the EAB views will require the SOA Composer Lite customer to re-create the handler.
 
Your SOA Composer Lite license restricts the toolset from opening any handler other than those handlers created by this license on this machine or the sample tutorial handlers shipped with the product. You will not be able to share your handlers with other installations of SOA Composer.
 
Group views are not permitted in either the import or export views of the EAB.
 
Generated code can be used in development environments only. Generated code is explicitly not licensed for use in production environments without licensing SOA Composer from Canam Software Labs, Inc.
 
These restrictions do not apply to the full commercial license of SOA Composer.
