SOAP vs. XML-RPC

 [1/5] from: tim::johnsons-web::com at: 7-Jan-2005 17:02


Why use XML-RPC in place of SOAP? thanks tim -- Tim Johnson <[tim--johnsons-web--com]> http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com

I've not really kept a tab on SOAP during the last 2 years, but back then XML-RPC was simple and lightweight (with its own set of problems) where SOAP was complex and kinda bloated. -- Best regards, Andreas

Greetings Andreas! FYI: We are *required* to use a SOAP envelope to receive an XML data feed from a Real Estate Multiple Listing Service. That is getting to be kind of an industry standard and in the USA web-based or internet-based Real Estate Multiple Listing application is growing. Currently my partner is using perl code with a SOAP library to obtain this data feed. I also program in python which has second-party libraries (not bundled with the python distro thus far) for SOAP. I do think that SOAP is a wave of the future, bloated or not. Don't know if SOAP "under the hood" has been streamlined or not. The perl interface - that is, the content of the "envelope" - looks a lot like your examples on XML-RPC. thanks tim -- Tim Johnson <tim-johnsons-web.com> http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com

what style soap is it? given that it's perl you're using i expect it's not doc literal, do you have to interact with wsdl, xml schema? messaging done using xml wrapped data over various protocols might be the future. i doubt soap is it. -- Bryan Rasmussen Quoting Tim Johnson <[tim--johnsons-web--com]>:

What I mean is that "SOAP" is in *our* future. We are currently being required to use it. What I should do when I have time, is see if I can make the query that the perl code is now doing with Andreas' XMP-RPC. If it is successful, then the answer is the it's moot as to whether the protocol is truly SOAP or not. "If it works, it works" I've noted from the mailing list that this MLS hosts, that there are references to several previously used, then scrapped appoaches. tim
