INSTALATION

Put the entire o4glws directory somewhere in the PROPATH and make a copy the 
file o4glws.i in any directory in the PROPATH of the deployment machine, 
because it's needed to compile the deployed webservice adapter procedures. 

INCLUDED FILES

TODO
- Implement the password Digest specified in the WS-I security profile, right now only password text is supported
- Give the user the hability to choose which internal procedures to publish.
- Give the user the hability to preset some parameter's values.
- Implement user defined request parameters, they will help to communicate the security procedure with the Webservices methods.
- Give the user the hability to define the webservices methods and parameters without requiring external procedure files, this way they may generate webservice skeletons.
- Establish a workaround to facilitate the direct XML output instead of relaying in the node creation/dumping that may be inadequate for large amounts of data.
