You need to create a WSDL description of your service. A .NET client should be able to automatically consume a WSDL file and talk to the Web service, although interoperability between .NET and Apache SOAP can sometimes be problemmatic. I suggest that you use the Apache Axis java2wsdl tool to gener

Thanks Anne for elucidating. I'm stuck with the legacy system and infrastructure that supports it.. I need to find a clumsy way to get around to make things work..   I don't concur with you on thing you mentioned below in the first paragraph. If you factor interoperability & infrastructure issues

From my perspective you should always use Doc/literal. SOAP Encoding has been the source of many interoperability issues, because the mechanism of mapping language types isn't defined concretely by SOAP Section 5. Hence you should always use literal encoding. And many implementations don't s

In what way does doc/lit define language type mappings? I've never really understood why doc/lit is better than rpc/encoded. If you have no WSDL, you have problems with complex types either way. If you do have WSDL, you have XML type information either way, and I don't see why you would bind

One more comment. I consider it out of the ordinary for the code implementing a service method to manipulate XML in any way. As such, your method that returns a DOM element seems quite odd to me. One typically uses constructs more native to the implementation language, such as a class instan

You have motivated me to finally post a page with a simple VB.NET client for an Apache SOAP service. The page is http://www.scottnichol.com/vbnetclientapachesoap.htm. It uses the stockquote sample. That sample uses a third party from which to get the quote. Unfortunately, the third party th

Hi All.   I'm using soap and it's workign great for low load requests.   However when the number of requests start increasing there seems to be a significant time lag associated with them.     The requests are sent off using threading.   The responses seem to come back in no specific order such th

Doc/lit doesn't define type mappings, but it definitively specifies the structure of the message via XML Schema. Because the two applications know in advance exactly what the message structure is, the details of how the SOAP message processor maps the XML Schema to language types doesn't matter to

Re: design question

2003-06-18 Thread Anne Thomas Manes
Vishal, Your response implies that you expect doc/literal to deliver the SOAP body to the service as XML. I think this is your source of misunderstanding. A SOAP message processor normally transforms the SOAP body into language objects -- it doesn't matter whether you use rpc/encoded or doc/litera
