Altova adds WSDL 2.0 support to MissionKit

By David Worthington

October 30, 2009 — A new edition of Altova's MissionKit Tool Suite packs a sundry set of new features, including Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) 2.0 support and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for working with AJAX websites, as well as expanded forms creation capabilities, database schema conversions, and UML tools.

The focus of yesterday's release is not a platform strategy, but rather the addition of features that customers have been asking for, said Alexander Falk, the cofounder and CEO of Altova.

MissionKit 2010 offers versions of Altova's DatabaseSpy query and design tool, DiffDog merge utility, MapForce data mapping tool, StyleVision graphical stylesheet design utility, UModel Unified Modeling Language tool, and XMLSpy XML editor.

MapForce 2010 and XMLSpy 2010 WSDL allow developers to manipulate their WSDL 1.1 or 2.0 files with a visual editor. WSDL 2.0 became a W3C recommendation on June 2007, broadening the description language and removing message constructs.

MapForce, StyleVision and XMLSpy have more options for working with Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). Developers can now generate XBRL taxonomy documentation, as well as generating additional taxonomies from a base taxonomy using a wizard, Falk said.

MapForce also has the ability to generate multiple files from a single data mapping.

XMLSpy can now generate and edit JSON, and convert to and from JSON to XML. "They can live side by side. It is a best-of-both-worlds approach," Falk said.

StyleVision has been revamped with a free-flow document layout design paradigm. Developers can set absolute positioning on grids, and layer forms over scanned documents, Falk said.

Other highlights include UModel now working with Systems Modeling Language, a subset of the UML specification for embedded systems design. DatabaseSpy can perform schema comparisons, such as between production and test environments, and it can convert data structures between database types. Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle Database are supported.

Thirty-day trials are available for each product. MissionKit 2010 start at US$59 per product. A support and maintenance subscription package is available.
