Release Notes

Smodl Development Suite

Known issues:

• There is currently only support for one-dimensional arrays in the SOAP bindings [454]. 
• Note: The integrated WSDL editor in Eclipse Enterprise Editions may require a configured server in order to work. I.e. if you generate WSDL from a SMODL model then it won't be displayed in the WSDL editor unless you also configured a server in your project. This is not an fault in Smodl Development Suite but a feature of the WSDL editor in Eclipse.  If you follow the steps of our AJAX tutorial you install Tomcat in your Eclipse EE and will not experience this issue.
