RT-UML2WS-CDL

The third tab, called "RT-UML2WS-CDL", allows the user to transform the XMI code corrresponding to a sequence diagram (generated in the previous tab) into a WS-CDL specification . A diagram showing the different parts of this tab is shown in Figure 1.

In this tab these parts can be distinguished:

- The XMI Textbox where the XMI code to transform is shown. This code will be loaded automatically when the sequence diagram is exported to a XMI file in the first tab. Another way to load the XMI code is using the Open XMI File... option in the File menu. A dialog will be shown to the user to select the code to be opened. If the file opened isn't valid, an error message will be displayed on the screen.
- The WS-CDL Textbox where the WS-CDL specification will be shown after doing the transformation. To save the specification, the user must choose the Save WS-CDL File... option in the WS-CDL menu. A dialog will be shown to the user to specify the name and the place where this specification is saved in the operating system.
- The Transform button allows the user to generate the WS-CDL specification corresponding the XMI code loaded in the XMI Textbox. The result will be automatically displayed in the WS-CDL Textbox after a few seconds. If the XMI Textbox is empty pressing the Transform button will have no effect.
- The Clear button allows the user to clean the content of both, the XMI Textbox and the WS-CDL Textbox. If both textboxes are empty pressing this button will have no effect.
