SOAP Server
We have a current site built in cake 1.2 and the client has requested that we build a SOAP server for them to use. I have never built one before (have queried plenty), so have no idea how long it would take. Has anyone any experience of this? Specifically, I need to know how long setting it up and writing the WDSL. Thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: SOAP Server
Welcome to the world of convoluted protocols, poor documentation and needless complications. Sound like fun, doesn't it :) I have sort-of built a SOAP server (two methods). It is very limited and only there because I had to have it. You might have guessed that SOAP is not my favorite protocol. I do have some general advice and experiences: • See if it can be done by something other than php. SOAP is not PHPs strongest point. Java loves it and even .net looks a lot more comfortable in the examples I have seen. • Read up on SOAP, a lot. I found that I initially understood very little and php-related info was scarse. • Make sure YOU write the WSDL and decide any namespaces and any other aspect of the API. (Conforming to some advanced Java-API was not easy for me) • Choose your weapon. PHP-SOAP, PEAR-SOAP, NuSOAP are the prime candidates. • NuSOAP is a popular library... try to avoid it since it is a dead project with limited documentation. I had to use it because I needed some of it's unique features (mime attachements). I can't say wether the other two are any better, though. PEAR-SOAP is not past 1.0 either and has no end user documentation. Looking like pain and suffering? There are good news too... For Cake there is WebServices Controller by RoSoft. It allows you to work abstracted one layer away from NuSOAP. Still a pain is the rear but a lot better than flying solo. If your needs are reasonable it will save you a world of trouble. Since I needed to conform to namespaces and other annoying details in headers and envelopes I ended up with a total hack. Part WebServices Controller and part dumping hard-coded xml-strings into NuSOAP... I think it works though.

Re: SOAP Server
Also, Mark Story has his own Web Service Behavior, although I believe it's using REST, not SOAP. Also, it's RosSoft, not RoSoft (http:// rossoft.wordpress.com/). I believe RosSoft's version is for CakePHP 1.1 however. For WSDL+SOAP requests, that still leaves using the Zend Framework as a vendor the best bet.

Yet another SOAP server implementation on CakePHP
Hi all, I just wrote down my example of SOAP server implementation on CakePHP. My idea is to create the SOAP handler and the WSDL in Controller, and create all method in the model. You may read it here: http://mykm.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/implementing-soap-server-on-cakephp Please give me some suggestions especially about how to make auto-create WSDL by scanning all methods in the model.

Re: soap server
There are three articles on implementing a SOAP server with Cake using Nusoap here: http://rossoft.wordpress.com/?s=nusoapsearchbutton=go%21 @John - how did you go about auth? Using the Nusoap approach above ended up creating a 40-char API key which has to be submitted and verified before a soap request can be returned. I am having trouble figuring out how to change the returned data package depending on whether the request was authorized or not though.

Re: soap server
My question is, what's the big deal about SOAP? With google no longer offering it up as part of their API (except for legacy, and no doubt they eventually turn it off), and most services using REST - SOAP seems a bit dead in the water these days. I'd certainly like to see more about adding REST to my app. Tane On 6/4/07, Greg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know how to implement a SOAP server with cake? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: soap server
Well sometimes external sender really wants to send request using Soap and not REST .. that;s the main reason. Using the Rossoft Nusoap implementation is very easy.
