Hi Martin,
yes exactly and that's the reason we switched over to REST services and
particularly for
mobile devices. Even though ksoap2 on Android seems to be fairly
efficient it's still a bit
heavier that the REST/HTTP mechanisms.
Regarding the publishing of the REST service, as you pointed out there's
not a standard
method to publish them - some ideas I saw generate documents that
describe the directory
hierarchy for the server side along with the URL specifications on how
to reach the various
resources. I use Ajax for building clients for these services. But I can
certainly work with you
on coming up with may be a more general architecture.
In any case, thanks for the feedback and I will let you know about this
once I give it a bit
more thought. I appreciate the information and help Martin.

Please note that SOAP introduces some significant overhead for web
services that may be problematic for mobile devices. If you have full
control over the client and the server, a REST based architecture may
be more adequate.
maybe you can create a testcase and we can come up with an
architecture to
1)publish the REST service
2)create a Stub client which will consume the REST message
did you have anything specific in mind?
Martin

Hi Martin,
apologies for re-posting this one - do you have an idea on whether the
segment you sent below
can handle REST-annotated WSDL files?
Thanks

Hi Martin,
isn't this parsing a SOAP WSDL file using the ksoap2 libs? Can it
handle documents that describe
REST as well? I guess it should but i am not sure. I will need to
look into a bit more carefully.
I appreciate the feedback
