2. Pvm/ 2 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT Overview  Strategy for IMS Web Service:  Outline of SOAP and IMS  SOAP Frameworks  Web Service API Overview  SOAP Client Examples:  Java Script  Excel 2000 VBA

3. Pvm/ 3 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT Outline of SOAP and IMS Application SOAP ClientSOAP Server IMS DALC SOAP Message SOAP Framework Including Web Service Layer

4. Pvm/ 4 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT SOAP Frameworks  Microsoft.NET (Microsoft)  SOAP Toolkit SDK (Microsoft)  Apache-SOAP (Java)  SOAP::LITE for Perl  Others  Many SOAP toolkits evaluation at: http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/

5. Pvm/ 5 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT Web Service API Overview  Data Types:  string  boolean  int, float  IXMLDOMNodeList  etc.  Functions:  IFC model data query  IFC model data update  IFC model data create  etc.

6. Pvm/ 6 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT Web Service API Overview  Example of IMS API  domNodeList2 = QueryByXML(domNodeList1) domNodeList1: Query for IFC model domNodeList2: Result SOAP ClientIMS DALC SOAP domNodeList1 domNodeList2 domNodeList1 domNodeList2 XML Query ML BLIS-XML QueryByXML Query Engine Database

7. Pvm/ 7 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT SOAP Client Examples: Java Script var WSDL_URL = "http://rte2e155/IMSws/IMStest.wsdl" WScript.echo("Connecting: " + WSDL_URL) var sc = WScript.CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient") sc.mssoapinit(WSDL_URL, "", "", "") var domdoc1 = WScript.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument") domdoc1.async = false domdoc1.loadXML(" SELECT * FROM IfcBuildingStorey FOR XML AUTO; ") var objNodes objNodes = sc.QueryByXML(domdoc1.documentElement.childNodes) WScript.Echo("IfcBuildginStorey: " + objNodes.length)

10. Pvm/ 10 Yoshinobu Adachi (VTT Building and Transport) VTT BUILDING AND TRANSPORT Comments  IMS Web Service Prototype  Microsoft SOAP Toolkit 2.0  QueryByXML function Sending a query data to IMS by XML Receiving a result by XML  Client test Jscript Excel 2000 VBA  IMS Database, DALC components are still prototype version.  Query Markup Language Concidering about existing XML query language IFC Implementation View definition
