System and methods for providing a declarative syntax for specifying SOAP-based web services
First Claim
1. A computer storage medium having instructions thereon for performing a method of compiling programming language code with a compiler, comprising:
- initially parsing the code;
during said initial parsing encountering an attribute block and allowing an interface definition that follows the attribute block to include embedded information; and
parsing the interface definition wherein when the compiler encounters a soap-handler attribute, the compiler recognizes soap-handler as an attribute that is supported by an attribute provider and calls into the attribute provider.

Abstract
A system and methods are provided that make compile-time declarative modeling available for SOAP-based data transmission(s). The declarative modeling minimizes the amount of coding required of a developer. The underlying details regarding the SOAP protocol, dispatching to the appropriate object and function, marshing and un-marshing of XML and generating the SOAP response are hidden from the developer when implementing SOAP-based Web services. The task of creating a SOAP-based web service is thus greatly simplified by reducing the number and complexity of considerations required of the developer when generating SOAP-based Web services. In one embodiment, attributes for Visual C++ are utilized as a framework for a declarative syntax for SOAP-based Web services, which Visual C++ attributes have access to type and marshaling information.
