< EclipseLink | Development | DBWS | ParseDDLforMetadata
The primary job of the DBWSBuilder utility is to extract metadata from the database about some artifact (i.e. a Table or a StoredProcedure) that is to be used as the basis of a Web Service. The DBWSBuilder translates the retrieved information (field names, arguments, scalar or composite datatypes, etc.) into DBWS runtime artifacts (EclipseLink Project XML files, WSDL and XML schema, etc.) Thus it is crucial that DBWSBuilder get complete and accurate information from the database.
