This is an implementation of the SOAP 1.1 protocol with an RPC application in mind. It aims to support DOM level-1 compliant browsers.

Tested with Twisted 8.2 and rpclib-1.1.1-alpha from http://github.com/arskom/rpclib on Python 2.6.2, and with Qooxdoo 1.1.

Using qxsoap in your application

Download the latest package from http://github.com/arskom/qxsoap/downloads and unpack it to source/lib/soap folder in your project root. If you don't have a source/lib folder, it's OK to create it.

Then modify the "let" and "jobs" sections in your config.json to to contain the entries below:

{
    "let" : {
         "SOAP_PATH" : "./source/lib/soap"
        ,"SOAP_URI"  : "lib/soap"
    }

    ,"jobs" : {
        "libraries" : {
             "library" : [ 
                { "manifest" : "${SOAP_PATH}/Manifest.json", "uri" : "${SOAP_URI}" }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Use the soap client in your application, then run ./generate.py source to have it included. You can look at the soap.test.SoaplibInterop class and the demo application for examples.

Running the demo

Preparing the client

Unpack a qooxdoo distribution in the qooxdoo folder, or create symlinks to one. It has to be there so your web browser can find it via the included web server. Then run ./generate.py source in the demo/default folder and generate the client loader script.

Preparing the server

Install the latest rpclib and twisted from pypi. As a privileged user, you can execute the following command:

easy_install rpclib
easy_install twisted

Once rpclib and twisted are installed, you can run the demo server using the following command:

./demo_server.py

Wait for the

     http://0.0.0.0:7789/

line to appear. Then navigate to:

     http://localhost:7789/demo/default/source/

and you should see the main screen which is a toolbar with two buttons to the upper left.
