This Platform feature enables you to auto-generate client classes from external target web service WSDLs. The Converter will reads the target WSDLs and converts them to client classes. The Platform provides these classes as a new library supported for use by be used by Groovy scripts. Developers will be able to create scripts or custom objects that use these client classes. Once a Web service is converted, method calls of that web service are available for use in Groovy scripts/Custom Objects.
Only SOAP-based, v1.1 WSDLs can be converted.
