RE: [Babeldoc-devel] Babeldoc soap support question(s)

[Leech, J. <jl...@vi...>]

I'm not sure about all the details of SOAP, but I just wrote an
HttpClientPipelineStage that's pretty generic, and it makes a document out
of the reply.  You might want to take a look at it, its located in the web
module.

Subject: [Babeldoc-devel] Babeldoc soap support question(s)


I'll be building an interface to a soap web service API, and therefore I 
thought I should stop futzing around and actually look into building the 
pipeline.  In starting to review the soap stuff, I've come across the some 
issues that I would appreciate those with years of experience (or even weeks

will work) to comment on.

I need to go through a (relatively) complicated process as follows:

a. post soap document.  Response is either transaction id or failure code.
b. if transaction id, post soap queries for status of transaction until
status 
= done.
c. if failure code, indicate failure through some magic that I haven't
thought 
of yet.

I have the following questions:

1. The current soap writer ignores the reply.  I'll need to change that, but

I'd like to implement it such that it can be as generic as possible.  Is 
there a description somewhere of how a stage writer should act?  Or, lacking

that, which is the best stage writer to use as a template for how the 
SoapWriter should be modified?

2. How should the reply be handled?  Is there some current stage that I can 
use, or will I need to create my own stage to process the reply?  If I need 
to roll my own, is there some guide lines to make it generic for general
use, 
or should I just make it specific to my needs?


Thanks,

David
