This is f3k timesend webservice prototype

Install the newest version from github:

git clone https://github.com/wws22/f3ktime.git

The main purpose contain in develop the universal interface between stopwatch and score counting program during F3K aeromodelling contests.

Sample of WSDL:

docs/f3ktime.wsdl

XSD for datatypes:

docs/f3ktime.xsd

Samples of SOAP interaction:

docs/Samples.txt

The Example of server side code:

src/timesend/f3k.java

This code can try with SOAP UI <https://www.soapui.org/>

It's very important to use equal values for PORT & PATH by compatibility reasons.

The best practice contain is in use DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) like a Zeroconf, Bonjour, mDNS-SD <http://www.dns-sd.org>. That make possible to find the f3ktime-server automatically from smartphone or any other device in your LAN.

We has tried to use Zeroconf library <https://github.com/faceless2/cu-zeroconf> and has been very satisfied.

It was looked like:

Zeroconf zeroconf = new Zeroconf();
zeroconf.addAllNetworkInterfaces();
Service s = zeroconf.newService("f3ktime", "http", 6543).putText("path", "/services/timesend/f3k");
s.announce();
/*
 Place your WS here :
 Object implementor = new f3k();
 String endpoint = getWsEndpoint();
 Endpoint.publish(endpoint, implementor);
 ...
*/
s.cancel();
zeroconf.close();

Where:

PORT = 6543
PATH = /services/timesend/f3k
SERVICE = f3ktime

We has used the own fixed version of cu-zeroconf. For install from github enter:

git clone https://github.com/wws22/cu-zeroconf
git checkout fixes
