Configuring proxy generators for use with Dreamweaver

When you install a web-service proxy generator, you must configure it to work with Dreamweaver.

To learn more about proxy generators, see About proxy generators.

To configure a proxy generator to work with Dreamweaver:

1. Select Window > Components to open the Components panel.
2. In the Components panel, select Web Services from the pop-up menu in the upper left of the panel, then click the Plus (+) button and select Add Using WSDL.

   The Add Using WSDL dialog box appears.

   

3. In the Add Using WSDL dialog box, select Edit Proxy Generator List from the Proxy Generator pop-up menu.

   The Proxy Generator dialog box appears.

   

4. Click New, select the proxy generator from the pop-up menu, and click Done.

   If the proxy generator you want to use does not appear in the list, select Default Proxy Generator to display the Default Proxy Generator dialog box.

   The Default Proxy Generator dialog box lets you configure the selected proxy generator, or you can configure a new proxy generator. The dialog box’s text boxes vary depending on the proxy generator you chose.

   NOTE

   The ColdFusion MX proxy generator is not editable.

   

5. Complete the dialog box and click OK.

   For information on completing the dialog text box, see Setting the Default Proxy Generator dialog box options.

6. When you have completed setting the Default Proxy Generator settings, click OK.

   When Dreamweaver reads a WSDL description of a web service, Dreamweaver carries out the following actions relating to the fields of the Default Proxy Generator:

   • Reads the WSDL as input to find the web service.
   • Generates the web service web service proxy with the specified runtime environment.
   • Compiles the proxy with the specified compiler.
   • Returns the proxy source code and the compiled proxy in the specified destination folder.
