Service-oriented application development is a time consuming
task that changes little between projects. In general, development
is a two step process where developers first create the core
functionality of the service and then routinely integrate details for
distribution, transport protocols and user interfaces. Addressing a
need to port standalone applications to web services, we have
developed a compiler to automate the generation of Web Services.
This compiler is called the Web Automation and Translation
Toolkit, or WATT. Originally designed as a utility for porting Tcl
scripts for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to equivalent but more
efficient C++, WATT has been extended to seamlessly integrate
the SOAP transport protocol to create working visualization web
services. Within this document, we present details of the WATT
compiler, including motivation, goals and example applications.
