I am having the hardest time finding any resources that decently walk you through in terms of setting up a basic web service that can be accessed. Most of the stuff I am seeing is on the client side. The imports people talk about are all outdated and/or are buggy or rely heavily on established frameworks. I prefer SOAP so can anyone please guide me right direction in laymans terms?
Thanks guys
ZSI, aka pywebsvcs, has been stable for a long time -- but then, so has SOAP, so I guess there isn't much reason for a new ZSI release (or tutorial). I notice 12 feedbacks on the sourceforge URL I pointed to, all thumbs-up, the latest one from 76 days ago, so I guess that while the package is "dated", it's not "outdated";-).
Rich Salz's tutorial on ZSI is here.
A REST tutorial would be trivial. Any framework that offers any HTTP-based processing of any kind is a RESTful service.
The built-in wsgiref implementation can trivially be used to build RESTful services. I can't see how a "tutorial" on REST would provide any additional information.
What more could you want to know? Please update the question with specific things that you would want to see in a tutorial.
I think the reason there aren't any tutorials is because it's pretty trivial. What's stopping you from implementing a RESTful web service?
