+Dia is a free powerfull Diagram drawing tool. I have used it to generate a php webservice file. The generated WebService is compatible with the nuSoap library.
+
+Please follow the below steps to get the most of the sotfware. Also check the "Version history" page in "Browse Pages" section to see what is new.
+
+
+__Firstly let's take a look at what is required in the webService in nuSoap:__
+
 1) An object
 2) The object's paramteres
 3) Object's methods
 4) Methods' parameters.
 
-Knowing this we can create a webservice php file from our UML diagram.
+__Create the diagram__
+
+_There is an example diagram available in the download section_
 
 What we need to know:
-An object is a UML-Class. So the name of the UML class is the name of our new object.
-
-Let's reffer to an object called 'Computer'. Most probably we have a database in which there is table that lists computers. We want our WebService to work with this database and provide us with information about certain computers.
-
-So we create a "UML-Class" object on the diagram.
-We call it 'Computer'.
-Then we create a list of attributes of this computer - these will be the values the object has.
-So we add a number of attributeS:
-- computerID:int
-- computerIP:string
-- computerName:string
-
-Now we want to have a method in our web service that gets the information about a computer from the database, accourding to the specified computerID.
-So we add a method (in Dia it's called 'Operation'):
-- getComputerInfo
-we want it to have a parameter of:
-
-computerID:int
-
-and we also want this method to return a "Computer" object so we set the "Operation data"/"Type" to "Computer"
-
-In human language it means that we created a method called "getComputerInfo" which is of type(return a value of) "Computer" and takes "ComputerID" as a parameter.
-
-Basically thats it. You can create a lot of parameters, change return type to 'int', 'string' or 'SomeOtherObject'.
-You can add as many methods as you want.
-
-If you would like to get a list of Computers in an array format then we need to create a different complex type with SOAP-ENC:array. To create Computers list just adda stereotype to name to the object.
+__An object is a UML-Class__. So the name of the UML class is the name of our new object.
+
+We will create an object called _Computer_. Let's imagine that we have a database of computers in our office. We want to be able to get and update the _Computers_ using the webservice.
+
+
+1) Create an _UML-Class_ object on the diagram.
+2) Name it _Computer_.
+3) Add attributes to the _Computer_ 
+
+    a) - computerID:int
+
+    b) - computerIP:string
+
+    c) - computerName:string
+
+4) Add a method to the _Computer_ - get the information about a computer from the database, according to the specified computerID. In operation tab add:
+
+    a) _getComputerInfo_ 
+
+    b) with parameter _computerID_ of type _int_
+
+    c) the operation should return an object _Computer_ - set type "Operation data"/"Type"  _Computer_
+
+
+
+___Basically thats it. You can create a lot of parameters, change return type to 'int', 'string' or 'SomeOtherObject'. Add as many methods and objects as you need.___
+
+
+__Object Lists__
+
+If you would like to get a list of Computers in an array format then we need to create a different complex type with SOAP-ENC:array. To create Computers list just add a stereotype to name to the object.
 For example in the UML-Class "Computer" fill in the field "stereotype" with a name of the list in this case "Computers". This will generate a list of computers.
 If you want to create a method to get a number of computers then: to the Computer class object add a method that is in a type of "Computers".
-
-That's it. To create more object create more uml-Classes.
