WSIF (the "Web Services Invocation Framework") is a WSDL-based API for invoking WSDL-described services. WSIF developers interact with Web Services at the abstract level through their WSDL descriptions. This is done independently of APIs specific to a message format or network protocol (eg SOAP APIs). With WSIF, developers work with the same programming model regardless of how the Web service is implemented and accessed.
miniLogger is a very small (4 classes and a 10KB jar) and easy to use logger. It uses a logging API that is a subset of JDK 1.4 logging but works on all Java 2 versions. It has been tested on Windows, Solaris, IRIX, and Linux for versions 1.2 and 1.3 of the Sun JDK. It supports logger control from the command line. Logger names are hierarchical separated by dots, and selecting any name automatically selects all names below. If logger_name is an empty string, it will affect all loggers. The loggers and level options are evaluated from left to right. It prints the thread name, source file name, and number line by default, and output can be redirected from System.err to file or any PrintStream. Finally, the logger hierarchy can easily mirror a package/class hierarchy or can be arbitrarily defined by the user.
