Re: SOAP

Hi I've tried the SOAPx4 by Dietriech. Looks good ('m not very profocent in SOAP). Firstly I tried to use XMLRPC for my stuff but found the UsefulInc implementation by Edd Dumbill is so slow - For array with 100 elements I 've to wait 4 seconds to transfer for the server to the client(in my case on one machine). Then looked for alternative and found SOAP. After a little big search on the net I found SOAPx4. As far as I can remember there are one or two more implementations but I cannot find them (phpclasses changed their adress to www.phpclasses.org). At last I found that 4.1.x versions are shipped with extension for XMLRPC and I started to use it. Interesting is that this extension supports SOAP 1.1 specification(by the words of his author). I've not tried the SOAP part but after looking at the source I found that when receiving a packet the extension tries to distinguish whether this is xmlrpc packet or soap envelope.It is bad that the extension is compilable only under Linux. There is no version for windows. I was forced to switch to Linux to use it. Hope that helps.
