Hi Kieran -
We do all our web service work by creating a set of POJO's that
represent the request and another set that represent the response. We
use WOXMLCoder to serialise the request objects into XML, pass the
result through an XSLT stylesheet to get it into the format required
by the service, then post it using apache's httpclient. When we
receive the response we pass it through another XSLT stylesheet to
get it into the format required by WOXMLCoder to deserialise it back
into the POJO's that represent the response.
You can supposedly use dictionaries with WOXMLCoder, but it's *much*
easier to use POJO's (WOXMLCoder can get itself all confused when you
have more complicated dictionary structures).
All our XML processing is done by a framework which means our apps
are blind to the fact they are talking to a web service. They just
create a request object, call a service, and get a response object to
play with. The use of XSLT also means we can use a standard set of
POJO's to submit the same request to several channels that have
different XML specs and the apache httpclient let's us submit
multiple requests asynchronously.

Hi Simon,
For raw xml post, and response read, what library/API is your
favorite for processing the incoming xml response into something
like a dictiionary structure?

We use web services extensively within webobjects apps. You can
tackle it in several ways. We use raw xml and http post, but you
could use a library like axis or xfire. And I guess someone
somewhere must use WebObjects own WebServicesAssitant :-)

What is the word on web services with web objects? I am working
on integration Fedex services into our program. FedEx code looks
nothing like webobjects example.
