SOAP Box

[1/6] from: cybarite:sympatico:ca at: 27-Jun-2002 4:19

SOAP Box Anyone have any news on the SOAP opportunity under REBOL? The last I remember ... and what escribe says from my search... Alan had offered to start some discussion on it http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/m21834.html and Doc Kimbel was interested in participating. There were a few other notes going back and forth ... then it went off of the radar screen. I know people are busy and working on their priorities.. but it would be good to re-align with what is going on in the background. If there is nothing going on, I would like to know that too. Thanks

I think even more interesting than working with SOAP would be to go directly to the source and working with xml-rpc. Being open-source, and the foundation for $OAP, xml-rpc/Rebol work could lead to augmentations if $OAP were necessary, but also point out to the open-source community that Rebol is darned cool and useful. sd [cybarite--sympatico--ca] wrote:

What do you do though if other parties decide to communicate using SOAP? Besides that - SOAP itself is free too ... SOAP, however, is not heavily used yet. XML is. XML-RPC is just transport mechanism, but you still need something (protocol/format) for your data to be described in ... -pekr-

Yep, SOAP is free. Free and controlled by Micro$oft. Hence my immediate dislike ;). SOAP is cool, as a protocol, though. Web services are a good thing. As far as XML-RPC's data description? It's XML. So is SOAP's, as far as I know. I just thought that -- in accordance with the pronunciation of REBOL ("rebel yell") -- we do something with a protocol that isn't controlled by M$. Either way, one of the things I'm finding to be very cool/powerful about REBOL is it's ability to easily pass data to, connect with and otherwise interface with remote systems. //sd Petr Krenzelok wrote:

Check www.rebolforces.com/~erebol for an XML-RPC implementation. Or: earl.strain.at for the the same one but CGI based. --Maarten On Thu, 27 Jun 2002, Sabin Densmore wrote:

Thanks, didn't realize that one already existed. My bad. sd Maarten Koopmans wrote:
