[ecf-dev] rest and soap additions to remoteservice

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Over the break and since I've been doing some refactoring of the ECF 
REST API...as well as adding on some classes to allow easy support of 
SOAP-based providers.  I've produced a blog posting about this here:

http://eclipseecf.blogspot.com/2010/01/soap-rest-and-ecf-remote-services.html

One thing that remains to do...create an example SOAP client 
provider...using an existing example SOAP service.  That is, I would 
like to create a client provider for some existing SOAP 
service...hopefully a fairly simple service...that has some wsdl to 
describe the protocol/method calls.  My intention is to take the wsdl, 
run it through WTP's web client creation wizard (that uses wsdl2java 
from Apache Axis) to create the java code, and then add a few (~3) ECF 
classes to finish the provider and expose the service as an OSGi service.

So if someone has/knows about a SOAP-based web service that is public, 
simple, and is running fairly consistently (so that people can test the 
client against a real running server) please let me know...as I would 
prefer to use an existing service rather than create a new one.  If 
others wish to work on this with me, please let me know and we can do so.

Another option is to use one of the Axis example services...which I will 
do if a better one cannot be easily found.

Thanks,

Scott
