Start with the IMS WSDLs As ‘fixed’ by Nick/CETIS The right place – the service and data specs Chose not to use the toolkit As an API it is a binding to a language Its another layer / dependency Needs maintained / might have bugs !? It seemed to import packages we didn’t need wsdl2java generate java packages / classes Write the NIIMLE implementation classes Development Process
