MOSS 2007 Business Data Catalogue (BDC) generator
If you are freaked out at the thought of having to craft by hand the XML config for a BDC application in MOSS 2007 ... then look no further:

Not the prettiest of applications ... but fully functional for connecting the BDC with a database! Now all we need is for this to do the same with web services :)
Nice work Todd!

Another good tool for this is 'MOSS BDC Design Studio' which I think has Webservices and (no offence intended) 'looks nice'. http://www.simego.net/Walkthrough.aspx?Walkthrough=/Walkthrough/BDC-WebService-Walkthrough/BDC-WebServices-Walkthrough.xmlAnonymous

I also have a BDC generator. It uses Enterprise Architect and lets you design and view your database and BDC connection using standard UML with a standard UML diagramming tool instead of some custom clunky app. We don't have web services yet, but that will come. There's a free trial if anyone is interested. www.bedfordtg.com/EAMS
