Soap, lather, rinse, repeat
I have had to deal with Soap lately. Mostly it works, except when it doesn’t. In my case I found out that its not exactly straightforward to make a Nusoap client talk to a PHP5 Soap server. Of course, it also depends on the WSDL. Probably. Maybe. In any case I was in a world of pain, which I do really not want to describe in more detail.
But then I found this article, and it made my day :) S stands for Simple. I have been suspecting this, but now its proven. Sigh.
Let me sum up. The definition of SOAP is in constant flux, SOAP is anything but simple, and it is no longer meant for accessing objects-even though that’s what all the tools still do.
