Hi all,
does someone have some experience with this plugin posted here on SAPsdn?
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/301632bd-284f-2a10-0690-d4a15857ae83">WSDL to ActionScript Proxy Generator for Adobe FlexBuilder</a>
I tried to install it but couldnt figure it out how?!?!
Can someone help me please how to implement it into FlexBuilder? I would like to build a tool helping WS development, maybe I could use this generator plugin.
regards
Antoni

Antoni,
I have not used that plugin, but I do know that the latest upcoming version of Flex Builder includes a WSDL to ActionScript proxy generator built in. I used the latest Flex Builder engineering drop, but it didnt seem to work right for SAP generated WSDL. It was having issues with the defined types. Dan McWeeney reported these issues to the Adobe guys, so hopefully it will be working when the new version of builder is officially released.

Here is the <a href="https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13415">bug I found in the Adobe delivered WSDL generation tool</a>. Go get an account and vote for the bug so they will put some resources against it.
I spoke directly to the head of Flex Development last week about this issue so hopefully they will have someone look at it.

Hi there,
we've used the new WSDL Proxy Generator Plugin from Flex Builder 3 a bit. We also found that bug when using data types different than String. But with the following workaround it's working fine for us:
1. when generating the web service out from SE80 in the SAP system, be sure to check the "name-mapping". This will remove all underscores - flex builder seems to have problems with 'em.
2. use only string for the input- and output data types (well, that could generate performance bottlenecks on the SAP side ...).

Nice workaround but not accaptable. Working only with string as data type could not only create some performance issues but makes it also fragile to changes on data model side. All benefits from the use of strongly-typed objects are lost.
So thanks for the hint but I have to wait for the fix.
