Re: [Soaplite-devel] RE: SOAP::Lite development

[Byrne R. <by...@ma...>]

I will try and get things checked in this weekend. I am doing a
presentation in November on SOAP::Lite for the Salesforce.com conference
here in the SF Bay Area... and it needs to be working by then.

But anyway - there are a number of people tackling this problem, from a
number of different perspectives - I hope we can corral them all before we
have to many divergent implementations.

What I will be checking into CVS will be the ISupplier perl module, which
will serve as the base reference for the code generated by the wsdl2perl
utility.

I have gotten the format for all custom deserializers - which is quite
useful, and for all the complex types. What is left is to create a new
serializer for SOAP::Lite which encodes arrays and other basic data types
in a more standards-compliant and friendly way.

Things are looking good though - with any luck I will have the whole thing
done by this weekend. Then it is just a matter of testing the
implementation, and adding some features that might help differentiate
SOAP::Lite from other toolkits - like WS-Security support or something to
that effect.

Thoughts?
