What We're Working On
The API Editor has limited ability to edit API definitions imported from SDFs. In this release editing imported APIs should be avoided.
WSDL generation from an API definition is not yet complete. The WSDL can be accessed via the Console API definition, or the service endpoint URL appended with “.wsdl”, but the WSDL is incomplete.
IP Address restrictions for accessing the LightWave Server Console.
What We’re Not Planning on Supporting
LightWave Server does not support the following SOAPam Server features:
Connection Security - SOAPam Server allowed services to be configured to require an SSL/TLS connection. This can be managed in LightWave Server using appropriate service port configuration. In addition, TLS connections for modern web services is the norm.
User Impersonation - SOAPam Server allowed services to be configured to invoke serverclass I/O while impersonating a specified Guardian user. We are not aware of any customers using this feature. This ability is currently on the LightWave Server roadmap.
If you have a need for these features, please contact NuWave support.
