A posting from Zdenek Svoboda (Idoox) announces the first beta release of their SOAP JavaScript Client, which "enables the scripting of Web Services using JavaScript. JavaScript serves as a powerful scripting language for flexible Web Service automation. WASP JavaScript may be used directly in a browser without any useless server-side HTTP invocations. It also allows the scripting of Web Services with server-side JavaScript code. The JavaScript Client package is a part of Idoox's WASP (Web Applications and Services Platform) and may be downloaded for free through the Idoox Early Access Program. The Idoox JavaScript Client currently supports MS IE 5.x and higher with MSXML 3.0 installed. Developers may use the WSDL2Java compiler to generate all neccessary HTML and JavaScript sources from the Web Service WSDL file. Idoox WASP JavaScript has been tested for support with Mozilla browsers and standalone JavaScript engines (Rhino). Principal features include: (1) SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1 support; (2) Automated JavaScript, HTML and XML/XSL code generation from WSDL; (3) Easy customization of generated code through XSL stylesheets; (4) Reasonable subset of XML Schema support and Namespaces; (5) SOAP message tracking."
