“…To detect possible Whatever types anti‐pattern causes, the detector uses a list of classes that are known to be too generic . When a method uses one of these classes, the detector informs that there is an issue.…”

“…However, the structures that they compare are very different because manifestation of these issues in Java is very different from their manifestation in WSDL. For instance, the tag <any> is the manifestation of the Whatever‐types anti‐patterns in WSDL documents, but in Java, the cause of this anti‐pattern can be the use of the class Object or not using generics when available, for example, using List instead of List<Clazz> . Something similar happens with the Undercover fault information within standard messages anti‐pattern.…”

“…In this example, the latter method is detected as unrelated to the service that the Parking class implements because it is not connected to the largest subgraph. To detect possible Whatever types anti-pattern causes, the detector uses a list of classes that are known to be too generic [36]. When a method uses one of these classes, the detector informs that there is an issue.…”

SummaryService‐oriented development is challenging mainly because Web service developers tend to disregard the importance of the exposed service APIs, which are specified using Web Service Description Language (WSDL) documents. Methodologically, WSDL documents can be either manually generated or inferred from service implementations using WSDL generation tools. The latter option, called code first, is the most used approach in the industry. However, it is known that there are some bad practices in service implementations or defects in WSDL generation tools that may cause WSDL documents to present WSDL anti‐patterns, which in turn compromise the chances of documents of being discovered and understood. In this paper, we present a software tool that assists developers in obtaining WSDL documents with as few WSDL anti‐patterns as possible. The tool combines text mining and meta‐programming techniques to process service implementations and is developed as an Eclipse plug‐in. An evaluation of the tool by using a data‐set of real service implementations in terms of anti‐pattern avoidance accuracy and discovery performance by using classical Information Retrieval metrics—Precision‐at‐n, Recall and Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain—is also reported.Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Too generic type definitions -definitions that are based on xsd:any-should be avoided because they only obscure the semantic of the data. This problem is analogous to using too many generics types in Java, such as Object for defining the return class or parameters' classes of a method, to assure extensibility [29]. Besides, as these definitions allow all the other defined data, they are inherently redundant.…”

SUMMARYThe service‐oriented computing (SOC) paradigm has recently gained a lot of attention in the software industry because SOC represents a novel and a fresh way of architecting distributed applications. SOC is usually materialized via web services, which allows developers to structure applications exposing a clear, public interface to their capabilities. Although conceptually and technologically mature, SOC still lacks adequate development support from a methodological point of view. In this paper, we present the EasySOC project, a set of guidelines to simplify the development of service‐oriented applications and services. EasySOC is a synthesized catalog of best SOC development practices that arise as a result of several years of research in fundamental Services Computing topics, that is, Web Service Description Language‐based technical specification, Web Service discovery, and Web Service outsourcing. In addition, we describe a materialization of the guidelines for the Java language, which has been implemented as a plug‐in for the Eclipse IDE. We believe that both the practical nature of the guidelines and the availability of this software that enforces them may help software practitioners to rapidly exploit our ideas for building real SOC applications.

“…Overall, by applying these modifications we were able to decrease the number of occurrences of the Whatever types anti-pattern. Aside from these benefits for WSDL document quality, this refactor is also recommended for any Java code [20].…”

The Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm has gained a lot of attention in the software in- dustry since SOC represents a novel way of architecting distributed applications. SOC is mostly materialized via Web Services, which allow developers to expose their application as building blocks for other applications by defining a clear and public interface. Although conceptually and technologically mature, SOC still lacks adequate development support from a methodological point of view. We present the EasySOC project: a catalog of guidelines to build service-oriented applications and services. This catalog synthesizes best SOC development practices that arise as a result of several years of research in fundamental SOC-related topics, namely WSDL-based technical specification, Web Service discovery and Web Service outsourcing. In addition, we describe a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE that has been implemented to simplify the utilization of the guidelines. We believe that the practical nature of the guidelines, the empirical evidence that supports them, and the availability of IDE-integrated tools that enforces them will help software practitioners to rapidly exploit our ideas for building real SOC applications.
