Abstract: Iterative development of services may be provided by simultaneously developing service implementations and the corresponding WSDL description. At least one web service may be specified by WSDL code accepted as input. Output code may be created corresponding to each of the inputted web service. A graphical display item may be displayed corresponding to each inputted web service. The WSDL code, output code, and graphical display may be updated to reflect user input modifying a web service. A WSDL document and/or an output code document may be generated including modified web services.

Abstract: A method for selecting an annotation processor associated with an annotation for reprocessing is provided. The annotation is included in a computer software source code. An annotation snapshot is captured and a hash value is generated for the annotation snapshot. The annotation snapshot hash value is compared with a hash value of a previous annotation snapshot. The annotation processor associated with the annotation is marked for reprocessing when the annotation snapshot hash value is different from the hash value of the previous annotation snapshot.

Abstract: A method for visualizing web service interactions includes invoking a remote operation that causes a plurality of messages to be sent between two components in a connected system. The method further includes visually identifying a swim lane for each of the two components in a graphical display. For each message, a vector is plotted in the graphical display, where the vector extends from the swim lane of the message sender to the swim lane of the message recipient. The relative position of each vector depends on the time when the message was sent. A machine readable medium and an integrated development environment for representing asynchronous web service execution are also provided.
