Re: [Pharo-users] SOAP in Pharo

by phil＠highoctane.be

Pharo lacks a SOAP stack. This is something that also limits it in environments where a ton of APIs are in SOAP format. E.g. Banks, Insurance, Media, Government (including European Institutions). For SaaS apps, who cares. Java and .NET have full stacks and that's a significant factor for their use. VisualWorks support those: as in: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/products/visualworks/ - *Major improvements to WSDL 2.0 / SOAP 1.2 to handle updated protocols.* FWIW, my approach is to have a Java endpoint that will pass stuff back and forth through RabbitMQ or whatever middleware. When you get into SOAP over JMS, with JMS being WebsphereMQ for example, well, things get complicated, especially when you factor in certificates. And sometimes you need compliance and certification. IBM has a product to help solve those things: http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/datapower. I led a team that used it extensively for a couple of months. It works well. The price tag is quite hard to swallow for little systems and companies. <featurelist> "The IBMÂ® WebSphereÂ® DataPowerÂ® Service Gateway XG45 appliance helps you secure and govern web traffic more effectively. It provides an advanced data threat reduction and security enforcement layer for web and on-premises applications, while giving you the flexibility to deploy new applications rapidly. The IBM WebSphere DataPower Service Gateway XG45 appliance helps you: - Strengthen compliance using robust data protection, policy enforcement and auditing capabilities - Gain âfront-line defenseâ for inbound and outbound traffic through a web 2.0 gateway. - Separate security concerns from application code with an optional hardware security module (HSM) that is certified for FIPS 140-2 Level 3. - Integrate applications for improved application and database connectivity." </featurelist> If you have something around, you can bridge SOAP to whatever, including REST. The new versions do support JSON etc as well.

Updating packages from command line

by Bernat Romagosa

Is there a way to do it? Here's my attempt: *pharo-vm-nox MyImage.image eval "Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'myUser' project: 'MyProject'; package: 'MyPackage'; load. Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: true"* then: *pharo-vm-nox MyImage.image eval --no-quit "MyJustLoadedClass start"* results in: *UndefinedObject>>DoIt (MyJustLoadedClass is Undeclared) * *MessageNotUnderstood: receiver of "start" is nil* Thanks! Bernat. -- Bernat Romagosa.

Re: [Pharo-users] SOAP in Pharo

by S Krish

Are you looking for a SOAP client for RPC style calls or document format. For the former adding a simple SOAP Envelope to the request and using ZnClient should work fairly well. But if you are looking for something like : http://www.soapclient.com/soaptest.html to be used against a declared WSDL.. I doubt if any exists. Look at the XMLRPC package and see if you can work from there.. if you need to adapt something..

Re: [Pharo-users] SOAP in Pharo

by Stephan Eggermont

AFAIK, SOAP is completely dead for interoperability, as all major players decided to use their own extensions, and change them with each new release. You can of course make something work with your exact situation. Stephan

pharo-vm-nox command line

by Bernat Romagosa

Hi list, Is there a way to issue commands to an image via pharo-vm-nox on a headless server and not have it stop immediately after running them? This keeps the image running, but the command is not sent to it: *pharo-vm-nox StarUOCs.image --no-quit eval "Transcript show: 'hi'"* This is working, but the image quits after the command is run: *pharo-vm-nox StarUOCs.image eval "Transcript show: 'hi'"* Thanks!

I added ""yet another hack"" to this infinite list. I made it because we need something like this, even if not a good solution. And I also made it to start a debate into our community. I truly believe that Morphic was a great idea, but I also believe that current implementation is doomed.
