Soory for stupid question. What "WS tooling" is?
"WS tooling" is shorthand for a set of tools and classes that is used to simplify the mapping of WebServices into some implementation language. It tends to focus on the production of class structures that match with the XML definition of those services/documents with accessor methods that match some approximation of the language's standard rules, together with other methods to manage the conversion between that XML and those class structures (usually supported by some library). Basically, it is a bit like using yacc or bison to produce a parser, except that the input language is different, the output of the parse is more well-defined, and there are also methods to go back in the other direction (skipping over the bits and pieces relating to webservices as opposed to document parsing.) While there are certainly a number of tooling systems about for Java and the .NET milieu, I know nothing about the state of tooling for C/C++. Donal.
