The Project Open Provisioning ToolKit (OpenPTK) team has released a new application, a WSDL-base Web Service. The new application enables other web (client) applications to perform user provisioning operations. Clients can consume the published WSDL and invoke the service's operations: Create, Read, Update, Delete and Search.

The Web Service application is based on JAX-RPC and leverages the Web Services implementation that is generated by Netbeans. The Project OpenPTK NetBeans guide has been updated to cover the building and deploying of the application.

The WSDL-based Web Service application is available now. It can be obtained by downloading Project OpenPTK's source code from the openptk.dev.java.net site.
