Installation instructions for WSID4ID

  1. Download and unzip the com.ibm.wsdl.validate.wsid.zip file.
  2. Install WSID4ID on top of the WSVT validator by simply moving the subtree resulting from the above unzip operation into the Eclipse plugins directory (typically eclipse/plugins under the directory where Eclipse was installed).

WSID4ID can then be invoked by right-clicking on any WSDL file and selecting the Validate WSDL file command. Violations of the intrusion defense rules described above will then cause errors (red-flagged) or warning (yellow-flagged) messages to appear in the Eclipse Problems View of any Eclipse Perspective containing that window. At the same time, red (error) and yellow (warning) markers will be visible in the WSDL file editor view if one opens the WSDL file. For nested files, errors and warnings are collected in summary message lists that can be seen by right-clicking on the messages in the Problems view and selecting the Show details command.
