Requirement summary

A Manageable Endpoint Capability is a collection of properties and operations. The WSDM tooling tech preview in TPTP 4.3 allows a user to import existing WSDL and XSD definitions for defining the operations and properties of a capability. So they can create their capabilities from existing XSD and WSDL artifact files.

User interactions

User decides to build a Manageable Endpoint Capability, while creating this capability using new Capability wizard user select some XSD file to define the properties of the capability and some WSDL file to define the operation of the capability. This feature will also provide the ability to add the properties and operations from other files while editing a capability.

User interface

While creating new capability user is allowed to create a new empty capability or he can add some predefined properties and operations by selecting any XSD or WSDL file.

When user selects XSD file to bring new properties all the XSD elements available in that XSD file will become resource properties of new capability.

When user specify any WSDL file by browsing the workspace, we will bring up the following checkbox tree viewer. This viewer has elements nested as PortType -> Operation -> Message. So we will allow user to select different operations from different port type.

We will allow user to check PortType and Operation elements only.

Since we are going to merge all the WSDL messages into the Capability wsdl file so we should not have two messages having the same name but falls in different namespaces. If user tries to select such operations then we will reveal the following error in viewer.

Once user has selected what operations he wanted to bring in this new capability, we will merge all the WSDL messages associated with those WSDL operations in this new capability.
One of the limitations is that we will allow user to select only one file to import properties and operations, so if he wants to add properties and operations from more than one file he can do it from capability editor.

When user tries to import operations from capability editor, we will display the port type available in capability file in the checkbox tree viewer, but user will not be able to check and uncheck the operations available in that port type.
