Before we went to battle, we tried to learn as much as we could about SOAP and how to handle it. And we felt the lack of appropriate modules, but finally said, "well, that will have to do", and hoped that the requirement would only be to implement some sort of web service. Unfortunately, the requirements just included a WSDL file, and the words "implement that!". So we were doomed. The pressure and lack of sleep must have blinded me, for I didn't give up at once, and wasted valuable time trying to get something working. To me, it seems that the "enterprise" world take it for granted that SOAP is a synonym for web services, the only way to go, whereas the Perl community generaly considers it as useless and as heavy as a dead donkey. Still, we would definitely benefit from having a decent Catalyst::Plugin to handle that. -- C é d r i c B o u v i e r team1 member -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGeYKDV+dbgD38PGgRAgCgAKC/rZJjnUK+QzfoqSTPUy7AdhzWFQCdFeMj II0FALVuyjcRFJfiDAQzF8Y= =GHby -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
