11 11  The KWebS project aims at delivering the automatic layout of the KIELER project to users on a platform independent basis. The main component of the project is the //server//. It is based on an Eclipse Rich Client Application (RCA) and encapsulates the KIELER Infrastructure for Meta Layout ([[KIML>>doc:Infrastructure for Meta Layout (KIML)]]) in order to expose the layout over a network. To make the layout accessible for other platforms, the server hides the java nature of the layout behind a web service and supports a variety of //formats// for the representation of user models. The server provides access to the layout based on two architectures:
12 12  
13 -* the SOAP web service uses the reference implementation of the //Java API for XML - Web Services (JAX-WS)//, which is being maintained by the Metro project ([[jax-ws.java.net>>url:http://jax-ws.java.net/||shape="rect"]]), and provides the layout on a sessionless basis, and
14 -* the jETI service gives its users more flexibility due to the session based nature of the //Java Electronic Tool Integration (jETI)// platform that is being developed and maintained at the technical university of Dortmund ([[jeti.cs.uni-dortmund.de>>url:http://jeti.cs.uni-dortmund.de/||shape="rect"]]).
16 +* the HTTP-based service which uses simple POST requests to retrieve the layout. We provide several language bindings to connect from any language.
17 +* the SOAP web service uses the reference implementation of the //Java API for XML - Web Services (JAX-WS)//, which is being maintained by the Metro project ([[jax-ws.java.net>>url:http://jax-ws.java.net/||shape="rect"]]), and provides the layout on a sessionless basis
18 +** //Clients// enable using the service-based layout inside existing applications. As a good starting point, try the [[command-line layout tool>>url:http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/rtsys/kieler/downloads/tools-and-libraries/||shape="rect"]].

16 -Additionally, //clients// enable using the service-based layout inside the Eclipse modeling environment or other platforms. As a good starting point, try the [[command-line layout tool>>url:http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/rtsys/kieler/downloads/tools-libraries/||shape="rect"]].
20 +The following subpages first show how we can download and set up a layout server on our own, e.g. to provide layout inside a companies network. Further pages discuss the specific properties of either the SOAP- or HTTP-based solution. There is also a page on the supported graph formats.

18 -The following subpages first take a look at the way the service-based layout is integrated into the KIELER environment and what we need in order to use it. After that it is shown how we can download and set up a layout server on our own, e.g. to provide layout inside a companies network. Then we get to know the API provided by KWebS, after which the integration of the service-based layout with KWebS into our own projects is discussed. The last section gives us a list of configuration options supported by the server of KWebS.
