23: Re: SOAP Gateway Package ready (response to 1)

Hi all,

I've ported the soap-gateway package from ns_xml to tdom.  Why wasn't this package added to the OpenACS CVS repository?  Just wondering if there is some reason for this, otherwise I can check-in the tdom version.

There are still a few bugs that I need to work out, as well as further testing.

Also is it worth supporting SOAP 1.1?  My recommendation would be to follow the suggestion made in the 1.2 specs by returning a fault message that states SOAP 1.1 isn't supported.

Cheers,
Nick.

Hey Nick,

  The code is unchecked for no particular reason. I'll look into it. Regarding the v1.2 spec, it might be worthwhile to support the older v1.1 as a config option in the event someone requires it.

I'm in the process of refactoring the code with namespaces for tcl functions.  I will check the code in once I've finished this work.

Bill, I will take your advice and support SOAP 1.1 as well.  Also will you have time to maintain this package in the future?  If not I can volunteer to take on this responsibility as I will be working with this package for the duration of my phd, which is about another 2 more years.
