RE: Invoking Apache soap web services from browser client / IBM W SDE

2001-06-08 Thread Ding, Chengmin

Sven,
I got the WSDE R0.5(alfa)and WSTK 2.2 from the IBM Web Service CD. They
should be the latest version. Could you tell me the tool to generate Browser
Based Client is a GUI tool or some API that I can use? If it is an available
tool, is it in the IDE or I need to run a seperate script to invoke it? 
WSDE and WSTK have a lot of stuff so it seems that I couldn't find the
samples...

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

If you also download the Web Services Development Toolkit (WSTK)from 
Alphaworks, you get a few examples that can help you get forward.  It's 
another big download, though!

Hope that helps,
Sven!

I tried to use WSDE to create a Browser Based Client but I could find the
instructions.
Could you tell me where to start? 

Thanks.

Tom (and all),

Take a look at the 'Web Services Development Environment' at the IBM 
AlphaWorks website.  It requires some (heavy) downloads, but it's really 
worth it!  Among other things, it will automatically generate WSDL files 
from any java class or COM object, create BROWSER BASED CLIENT and deploy 
your services to Websphere or Apache.

I tested the toolkit with Apache and got the services running with both the 
generated browser clients and a self-built Visual Basic client using the 
low-level API in MS SOAP Toolkit 2.0.

RE: Invoking Apache soap web services from browser client / IBM WSDE

2001-06-06 Thread Christian Bernard

If you are using Internet Explorer 5.0, take a look at the Microsoft
WebService behavior at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/webservice/overview.asp. You may
find more details at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/webservice/using.asp.
This behavior only needs a few JavaScript lines and is very easy to use. The
SOAP response messages are returned via callbacks to the HTML pages which
have issued the requests.
I've used it with Tomcat 3.2.1 and Apache SOAP 2.1 and it works quite well.

Re: Invoking Apache soap web services from browser client / IBM WSDE

2001-06-06 Thread Jonathan Chawke

I believe there is also another alternative that can be used as a small 
browser-based client: 'SoapRMI'.
It is only 183KB (including an XML parser) and is available here: 
http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/soap/rmi/download/.
And don't blame me if it all goes pear-shaped - I've never used it!

I'm not sure this qualifies as a FAQ, but here's an answer I sent to
a previous message whose subject header was
   "How do I use my browser as a SOAP client?"


If you can count on JScript (or VBScript) with MSXML, the approach in
   http://www.architag.com/events/GetFile.html?show=getWeather.htm
seems to work fine calling on Apache SOAP, although I did set
   xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "''")
   xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1")

If you're using Mozilla, look at http://www.mozilla.org/xmlextras/ and
report back what you find because I haven't used that yet :-)

As an alternative that "works" fine even with lesser browsers, you can
(I did) construct a "PassAlong.jsp" such that
   PassAlong.jsp?router=&envelope=Y
  (where  is presumably something like
http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter
   and  is the actual SOAP envelope, constructed in JavaScript 
 or typed into a textarea)
will construct the SOAP headers, open the connection, receive the result
from the rpcrouter and pass it back to the client browser; better, at
times, is to add a third parameter, xsl=, and use that to select
an XSLT stylesheet for serverside processing of the SOAP result. I'm
not sure how interesting this is, but the technique is not difficult.
Does one of these address your problems?

Invoking Apache soap web services from browser client

2001-06-05 Thread Yashasree

Hi All
 
Does anyone know how to invoke a web service deployed on Apache SOAP from a client 
browser. The samples that are available illustrate the usage thru a java client only. 
How should the message be sent so as to make the apache soap router understand the 
request sent from a client browser. The browser client that i am looking at does not 
use applets, but only pure HTML/XML.
Apache SOAP does not seem to give any API which we could use through the browser. Even 
the Apache Javascript requires some kind of installation on the client side for it to 
work.
 
Help please !!!

Thanks
Yash
