A WSDL file is always a useful thing to have when exchanging SOAP messages. It tells you exactly what the messages are supposed to look like. It has nothing to do with whether or not the server is written in Java. The reason you want the WSDL is to allow any client to talk to the service, regardless of the type of language you want to use.
If you had a WSDL file, you could generate the Java client using WSDL2Java. It would automatically generate a proxy that maps the XML types to Java types, and automatically constructs/parses the incoming and outgoing SOAP messages. Perl is a dandy language for string manipulation, therefore it's pretty trivial to construct and parse XML. Java is not so good at string manipulation, so it's easier if you can convert the XML to Java objects. But if you prefer, you can use JAXP to construct/parse the SOAP messages programmatically. But without a WSDL, you'll have a lot more difficulty processing the return message. (Did they give you a sample of a return message?) Java is a strongly typed language, therefore it really wants to know what type of data it is receiving. The sample document--in which all elements are null-- gives no clue regarding the types of each of the elements. If you can't get a WSDL--or at least an XML Schema of the message formats--I guess you can just treat them all as strings. Anne On 7/6/06, Bruno Negrao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I don't have it. Would I need it? the server is not java. There's a soap client here running in perl using SOAP::Lite that doesn't need any bureaucracy. Now i can send a post that the server successfully answers. But I cannot deserialize it. The answer the server sends is a list of Person objects (in xml, of course). What't the problem in deserializing it? is the an not-bureaucratic java class I can use to deserialize it? would I ever need a DTD or WSDL available? (in perl i don't need nothing of these...) thank you, bruno On 7/6/06, robert lazarski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can use jmeter to send this exact message, and then you'll have a response. > > How to do that programatically is a much bigger question.
