I built one of the first SOAP servers, including code generation and WSDL generation, from the original spec as it was being developed, when I was working at Hewlett-Packard. I do NOT recommend using SOAP for anything. The acronym “SOAP” is a lie. It is not Simple, it is not Object-oriented, it defines no Access … Read more
One word: Don’t. OK obviously that isn’t a real answer. But still SOAP should be avoided at all costs. 😉 Is it possible to add a proxy server between the iPhone and the web service? Perhaps something that converts REST into SOAP for you? You could try CSOAP, a SOAP library that depends on libxml2 … Read more
I normally use another way to do the same using System.Xml; using System.Net; using System.IO; public static void CallWebService() { var _url = “http://xxxxxxxxx/Service1.asmx”; var _action = “http://xxxxxxxx/Service1.asmx?op=HelloWorld”; XmlDocument soapEnvelopeXml = CreateSoapEnvelope(); HttpWebRequest webRequest = CreateWebRequest(_url, _action); InsertSoapEnvelopeIntoWebRequest(soapEnvelopeXml, webRequest); // begin async call to web request. IAsyncResult asyncResult = webRequest.BeginGetResponse(null, null); // suspend this thread … Read more
You can expose the service in two different endpoints. the SOAP one can use the binding that support SOAP e.g. basicHttpBinding, the RESTful one can use the webHttpBinding. I assume your REST service will be in JSON, in that case, you need to configure the two endpoints with the following behaviour configuration <endpointBehaviors> <behavior name=”jsonBehavior”> … Read more
This is the simplest JavaScript SOAP Client I can create. <html> <head> <title>SOAP JavaScript Client Test</title> <script type=”text/javascript”> function soap() { var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlhttp.open(‘POST’, ‘https://somesoapurl.com/’, true); // build SOAP request var sr=”<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>” + ‘<soapenv:Envelope ‘ + ‘xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” ‘ + ‘xmlns:api=”http://127.0.0.1/Integrics/Enswitch/API” ‘ + ‘xmlns:xsd=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema” ‘ + ‘xmlns:soapenv=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”>’ + ‘<soapenv:Body>’ + ‘<api:some_api_call … Read more
Android does not provide any sort of SOAP library. You can either write your own, or use something like kSOAP 2. As you note, others have been able to compile and use kSOAP2 in their own projects, but I haven’t had to. Google has shown, to date, little interest in adding a SOAP library to … Read more
Tracking it down At first I thought this was a coercion bug where null was getting coerced to “null” and a test of “null” == null was passing. It’s not. I was close, but so very, very wrong. Sorry about that! I’ve since done lots of fiddling on wonderfl.net and tracing through the code in … Read more
is possible to convert soap web services to xml format? From wikipedia: SOAP, originally defined as Simple Object Access Protocol, is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of Web Services in computer networks. It relies on Extensible Markup Language (XML) for its message format (…)
You can find it at the Open Message Queue library. Since it’s a Glassfish component, if you are deploying your code into this server, you just have to check if the “mq” Jar is at your classpath. If you are using other server, you could find some incompatibilities (I don’t know for sure). Anyway, it … Read more
