Yup, I am. We're currently facing the need of a tool that does "XML over HTTP" for some webserviceish things that aren't actually SOAP compliant (it's just RPC with XML in/XML out stuff). Just to add another wheel, we were thinking of a different solution: we're planning to build a WebServicesProxyTransformer that basically builds on the ideas of the WSPGenerator (take some XML, send it over the wire, insert the response) and SQL/DASLTransformer. A custom element wraps the XML to be sent to the "web service" and the result is inserted exactly at the same point in the XML stream. Then we realized that we were duplicating http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24391. > AFAIK there are no "current prefered method" for calling web-services. I > and my colleagues, use the extended SourceWritingTransformer (SWT) I was thinking about using SWT as well, but then I realized that SWT doesn't offer a way of inserting the resulting XML in the original stream: all it does is delete the XML inside the <source:write/> element, providing some status information (see SWT#reportResult()). Am I missing something? So, is it time to grab this issue once and for all, providing a common solution? -- Gianugo Rabellino
