Discovery by Browsing

Goal

The goal is to help business users find and tag services that are interesting to them, by simply letting them browse the place they know best, where such services are most likely to be : their usual business applications and intranet.

How it works

It takes the form of a 'browser in the browser'. It automatically finds WSDL files while the user navigates, extracts business information about it such as the business application where it was found (taken from the title of the browsed page), then makes him check all of it before sending the files to the Nuxeo repository.

Limitations : For now, the parser only looks for links whose URL ends with "wsdl", but we consider supporting several other ways to find services (from trying common URL patterns of services frameworks -"/cxf", etc. -, to custom scripts or application-specific URL patterns).

NOTE: In order to see uploaded WSDLs in Nuxeo, you may need to refresh the Descriptors/WSDL/ folder (look for an icon in the top-right corner).
