The following table lists the file types that the EntireX Workbench can use as input. Some of the file types may have different content. The content determines which files you can generate. The actions in the context menu depend on the file type.
| File Type | Content | Generated Files |
|---|---|---|
| cvm | CVM file (client-side server mapping file) containing information on the IDL. Corresponds to a related IDL file with the same name, see CVM File. | |
| idl | Software AG IDL for RPC, see Software AG IDL File. | C client, C server, Java client, Java server, Java tester, COBOL client, COBOL server, C# client, DCOM object, XMM file, PL/I client, PL/I server. |
| svm | SVM file (server mapping file) containing information on the IDL. Corresponds to a related IDL file with the same name, see Server Mapping File (SVM). | |
| wsdl | Web service description file. | IDL file, mapping file. |
| xml | XML document. | IDL file, mapping file. |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with element mapping. | |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with attribute mapping. | |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with user-defined mapping. | |
| xmm | EntireX XMM file with SOAP mapping. | WSDL file. |
| xsd | XML Schema file. | IDL file, mapping file. |
