Procedurally, is SOAP a 1 hit process or a 2? Does the client send a properly packaged payload and wait for a response? or does it ask for something and use that to create the query? I don't really want to know all about it, just enough to push the query and interpret the response in this on

It all depends, the best way, is to use a 2 call method, where you query the WSDL, and then, build the soap request from its contents, and many times this is required. This is VERY easy, when you work in a dev environment, that has a class, that will parse the WSDL, and do most of the work

hmm, the notion that the WSDL might be changing and even giving changing URLs for submission does nix the idea of a static 1-step approach. and you say that witango doesn't have a good way to parse up the WSDL to use to formulate a request? Does not bode well. On Aug 31, 2006, at 12:44

Hi Roland, Technically speaking, what Robert said is true, but speaking from experience, I find this rarely to be the case. If the SOAP service you're calling is for a commercial vendor, then I would find it highly unlikely that the WSDL will change very often - and when it does, it's more lik

I agree, most of the time its static, I do have one method, where the url, regularly changes. My main point was, this is not one of witango's strengths. And my RB example, shows a complete, 3 lines of code approach. So I am sure you will find what works best for you, but I have been bitte

choicepoint doesn't expose the .wsdl file to the internet. It's behind a firewall. They say that they also intentionally change it to break clients that aren't qualified. Therefore, just creating a query xml file from something like soapclient.com will have a very short life span. Going t
