uhm, thanks for your remarks. I guess I won't spend too much time on that then...
but, just to be more precise, I don't want to do something general (I'm not in enterprise environnement either), I just want to request an application located in my school. This application only exposes services (described by several varaitions of wsdl files which I think aren't totally valid).
There are around 900 operations organized in 12 interfaces. So I was thinking implementing 12 classes with methods being the actual RPC call to the application (with ZincHTTP).
I'll try one operation first, then I'll see if it's possible to generate these 900 methods from the WSDL files...
At its lowest level SOAP is pretty straightforward: HTTP POST a huge bunch of XML, get a huge bunch of XML back. You could use some spider/debugger to look at a successful client/server interaction and take the XML and somehow parameterize it. It would be a terrible hack, doable for a couple of calls, but not for 900!
Anyway, this is not that important and if I don't succeed, I will at least learn to use ZincHTTP :))
That would be good. Sven
