Hi, I have a number of web services that run on a server and can be accessed via SOAP as well as by creating a specific URL.
Now, for certain services, the argument that I need to send is about 10 to 20 characters and the URL approach works fine. However if the argument is a few kilobytes I would rather create a SOAP packet and send that off. So my first question is: is there a package that can create SOAP packets and communicate with a web service via SOAP? I have found the RSOAP package but that looks like it deals with accessing R via SOAP. I think my situation is simpler(?) Another approach I could use is to create a Java class that would do the communication and use SJava etc to use it. However that seems like overkill Now, if I use the URL approach I get back an XML document. I realize I could use the XML package for R to parse it. On the other hand if a SOAP package could decode the return document and simply hand back the result, that would make life easier. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
