Thread: erlang soap interoperability?




erlang soap interoperability?

Hi,

In many of the SOAP libraries produced outside of the major
players,
mainstream programming languages there are lots of
interoperability
problems reported (actually now that I think of it there are
lots of
interoperability problems reported between the maintstream
languages
also [java, .Net framework languages, C++])

Currently I am doing a report in which interoperability
problems with
be part of the report, if you have any interoperability
horror stories
between Erlang and other languages using SOAP I would like
to hear
from you. (basically I need Erlang because I am pretty
familiar with
the interoperability problems of Python, Perl, PHP)

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen

Hi Bryan,
 
What would Erlang - SOAP interoperability mean exactly?
 
The standard Erlang distribution does not contain a SOAP library. I am aware of 2 9;user contributions' that implement some kind of support for SOAP:
 
- erlsoap, by Erik Reitsma (I think), modified by Anton Fedorov.
 
- soap support for YAWS, implemented by Tobbe and me (part of the YAWS distribution).
 
The YAWS based contribution consists of functions for the server side (using YAWS) and the client side. The intention was to cover basic profile 1.1. In practice I believe that the current version will work pretty well if you use 'document-literal' binding and HTTP transport and if the WSDL consists of 1 part (no wsdl-imports - there may be imports in the type definitions - xsd-imports and -includes).
 
I am sure that there are quite a few other limitiations, and it would be useful to have some feedback. What would you expect to see?
 
Regards,
Willem

I suppose what I was looking for was horror stories, or
just
complaints of problems making the  commonly used Erlang SOAP
libraries
work with the libraries of other distributions, common
complaints for
people rolling out big SOAP based services is always
something on the
line of "if we did X it worked with .Net but failed
with Java, If I
changed it to Y it failed with .Net but worked with Java,
then there
were a bunch of problems with the libraries for other
languages, no
matter what we did we could never get it to work with more
than half
of the users" that kind of thing comes up often it
seems.

Cheers,

Bryan Rasmussen
