Obtaining additional proxy generators
To install a proxy generator that is not supplied with Dreamweaver, you must obtain the proxy generator and any
related software components from the vendor. You should be able to download all the necessary files from the
vendor’s website.
Some proxy generators create proxies that depend on other software libraries, which must be appropriately installed
so the proxy generator can access them. For example, the Axis proxy generator creates proxies that depend on the
Apache SOAP library, which, in turn, depends on other software libraries. When selecting a proxy generator, consult
the provided documentation, and ensure that you have all the required software components and libraries, so that
you can properly install and configure them.
After you properly install and configure the proxy generator, you must configure it to work with Dreamweaver.
Note: Currently, web services development with Dreamweaver is limited to the Windows environment. To develop pages
that access web services on the Macintosh, you must use a separate application server running either Windows
NT/2000/XP or UNIX on which to run the web service proxy and its application environment.
