Provide http interface for non-dotnet applications

[xulihang]

I want to integrate fiskmo in BasicCAT, a CAT tool based on Java. But java does not support net.tcp in wcf.

It would be great if fiskmo can serve as a http server.

I read the source again and I found I need to run it with admin privileges. I just need to find out how to use this in java.

If you don't want to run as admin, you can use netsh to reserve the http API port for Fiskmo (this is hardcoded to 8500 at the moment). The command would be something like netsh http add urlacl url=http:https://+:8500/MyUri user=DOMAIN\user.

I am tring to use wsimport to create java classes with this line of command: wsimport -d generated http:https://localhost:8500/MTService?wsdl. But I cannot get wsdl.

It seems that the HttpGetEnabled property wasn't set to true, so the API didn't generate a wsdl file. I've set the property to true in the latest commit of the develop branch, so if you compile that you should be able to get the wsdl at http:https://localhost:8500/?wsdl.

If you are using the latest build, this is the format of the requests you should use to get a translation: http:https://localhost:8500/MTRestService/Translate?tokenCode=&input=Example&srcLangCode=en&trgLangCode=fi&modelTag=

Thanks. The REST API is easy to use.

I have made a plugin for BasicCAT.

Looks good, that's a cool project you have there.
