FM::NEXUS SHIPS WEB SERVICES 1.0 PLUG-IN FOR FILEMAKER PRO

– FM::Nexus Web Services Plug-in Provides FileMakerDevelopers With Expansive Possibilities Through Easy and Quick WSDL Integration –

OAKLAND, Calif., December 5, 2007 – FM::Nexus today shipped the FM::Nexus Web Services plug-in, now for the first time allowing FileMaker® solutions developers to implement standards-based interoperability with Web Services quickly and easily.

"FM::Nexus provides tools that help developers build better solutions," explained Vincenzo Menanno, founder and president of FM::Nexus. "In this case, the FM::Nexus Web Services plug-in makes integrating web services a snap -- as quick and easy as writing a FileMaker calculation. Now developers can take advantage of the thousands of WSDL services to add movie info, stock prices, census data, package tracking, mapping information, sports scores and so much more."

"I recently downloaded the (FM::Nexus) Web Services plug-in," said beta tester Marco van Rooij, "I think it's the best plug-in available for Filemaker Pro at this moment!"

Quickly Add Web Services to FileMaker Solutions

The FM::Nexus Web Services plug-in empowers FileMaker developers to add hundreds of new functions to FileMaker solutions for instant database interaction with web services. The Web Services plug-in reads WSDL (Web Services Description Language) files and exposes the functions available, allowing the developer to easily integrate these functions directly into their solutions.

The FM::Nexus WebServices plug-in can also be used in conjunction with the Web Viewer capability introduced in FileMaker version 8.5. The Web Viewer from FileMaker lets developers and end-users view web-based content, while the Web Services plug-in from FM::Nexus provides for interaction with web-based content.

Adding a Web Service is as easy as dropping a new WSDL file into the WSDL folder in FileMaker Extensions. By adding a new WSDL file, the plug-in makes the functions included in that file available as FileMaker calculation functions. Thousands of WSDL files or Web Services files are available at sites such as . The FM::Nexus Web Services plug-in makes integration simple by exposing function prototypes which allow developers to quickly and easily write the corresponding powerful calculation.

The Web Services plug-in is also compatible with FileMaker Pro Server, custom web publishing, and instant web publishing, thus can run scripts off-hours that gather data, interact with other web services, and infuse web solutions with fresh web content.
