# webxref(1)

Output references to ids and classes in an Ajax Web application

## NAME

webxref - Output references to ids and classes in an Ajax Web application

## SYNOPSIS

**webxref** \[**-huxcCiIv**\] *files..*

## DESCRIPTION

The Ada Web Server is a library that allows you to embed a web server into your Ada application.  It provides not only HTTP but also SOAP, WSDL and several other facilities.  Thus you can write full-fledged web applications.

WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) is a language based on XML. WSDL documents describe, in a formal way, the interface to Web Services. This description consists of the end-point (URL to the server offering the service), the SOAPAction (needed to call the remote procedure), the procedure names and a description of the input and output parameters.

Using **webxref**, you can track down unused or undefined entities in Ajax Web development, as it is very difficult to ensure that a referenced Id does actually exist in Web pages for example.

Please see the AWS User's guide for more details on how **webxref** works, and how you can use it to develop web services.
