Using SOAP
Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 2:20 pm
Hello:
I decided to update my weather application that I am working on and found that NOAA (National Weather Organization) is using a SOAP server to handle WDSL for their XML feeds.
Problem 1: I am on a Macintosh (OS X) and not sure what if anything I need to handle this protocol.
Problem 2: Not sure how to use SOAP to get my XML file into a form where I can parse it in my script.
Being completely oblivious to the protocol, I need to figure out how one might make the request. Apparently OS X server has Apache Axis installed which is the SOAP server for Apache... but since my machine is not "server" I can not even be sure if it is installed or not?
Any help on this would be greatly welcomed. I am at a loss to even begin to wrap my head around what I need to do.
Thanks,
