Third-party Press Release
FM::NEXUS PREVIEWS WEB SERVICES PLUG-IN
Developers Get a Sneak Peak of Plug-in That Makes Integrating With Web Services a Snap, Also Works With the New FileMaker 8.5 Web Viewer
"There are thousands of Web Services out there from stock
quotes to the latest soccer scores, but Web Services can be
complicated, tricky to interface with," explained Vincenzo
Menanno, founder and president of FM::Nexus. "What
we've done is made working with them very easy and
FileMaker-like. Any developer who can write a FileMaker
calculation, can integrate Web Services quickly and easily. The Web
Services Plug-in brings Web Services in reach of any FileMaker
developer, not just the most serious ones."
The FM::Nexus WebServices plug-in allows developers to add
hundreds of new functions to FileMaker solutions for instant
database interaction with other web services. The Web Services
Plug-in reads WSDL (Web Services Description Language) and exposes
the functions available from these published APIs, allowing
FileMaker-based solutions to easily integrate these functions
directly into their solutions. The FM::Nexus WebServices plug-in
can be used in conjunction with the new Web Viewer capability in
FileMaker version 8.5 to enhance rendering of information.
Adding a Web Service is as easy as dropping a new WSDL file into
the WSDL folder. By adding a new WSDL file, the plug-in makes the
new function option appear in the FileMaker calculation dialog,
which can then be easily used in a solution. The FM::Nexus Web
Services Plug-in makes integration simple by exposing function
prototypes which allow developers to quickly and easily build in
the corresponding powerful calculation.
