How do I create a soap client?

Question

I need to create a SOAP client. The SOAP client should access services exposed using SOAP messages. It performs dynamic bindings and executes methods at remote web services. Soap methods are:

• getTodoList(acronym) -> List of TodoData()
• getTodoOneDay(acronym, date) -> List of TodoData()
• createTodo(acronym, time, note, priority) -> String
• updateTodo(id, acronym, time, note, priority) -> String
• deleteTodo(acronym, id) -> String

There is a soap server running on http://lol.comlab.bth.se:8090. Please help me by giving code in either php, java, python or any other language.

Answer 1

I think you're asking someone to write the whole client, and not just help out with it. You might try another site to hire a coder for this.

Answer 2

You could invoke method getTodoList(acronym) using PHP SOAP Extension in WSDL Mode:

$client = new SoapClient("http://lol.comlab.bth.se:8090/PathToYour.wsdl");
$return = $client->getTodoList(acronym));

Or in non-WSDL Mode:

$client = new SoapClient(null, array(
    'location' => "http://lol.comlab.bth.se:8090/PathToYourServer.php",
    'uri'      => "urn://lol.comlab.bth.se",
    'trace'    => 1 ));

$return = $client->__soapCall("getTodoList", array(acronym));

Answer 3

Just install the python-zsi library, or any other source code generator, and execute:

wsdl2py http://lol.comlab.bth.se:8090/wsdl

your done
