Creating a SOAP Client

From Rosetta Code

In this task, the goal is to create a SOAP client which accesses functions defined at http://example.com/soap/wsdl, and calls the functions soapFunc( ) and anotherSoapFunc( ).

[edit] ActionScript

Works with: ActionScript version 3.0

import mx.rpc.soap.WebService;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
var ws:WebService = new WebService();
ws.wsdl = 'http://example.com/soap/wsdl';
ws.soapFunc.addEventListener("result",soapFunc_Result);
ws.anotherSoapFunc.addEventListener("result",anotherSoapFunc_Result);
ws.loadWSDL();
ws.soapFunc();
ws.anotherSoapFunc();
//  method invocation callback handlers
private function soapFunc_Result(event:ResultEvent):void {
  // do something
}
private function anotherSoapFunc_Result(event:ResultEvent):void {
  // do another something
}

[edit] ColdFusion

<cfset client = createObject("webservice","http://example.com/soap/wsdl")>
<cfset result = client.soapFunc("hello")>
<cfset result = client.anotherSoapFunc(34234)>

[edit] Perl

Library: SOAP::Lite

use SOAP::Lite;

print SOAP::Lite
  -> service('http://example.com/soap/wsdl')
  -> soapFunc("hello");
print SOAP::Lite
  -> service('http://example.com/soap/wsdl')
  -> anotherSoapFunc(34234);

[edit] PHP

Works with: PHP version 5.0.0+

<?php
//load the wsdl file
$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap/definition.wsdl");
//functions are now available to be called
$result = $client->soapFunc("hello");
$result = $client->anotherSoapFunc(34234);

//SOAP Information
$client = new SoapClient("http://example.com/soap/definition.wsdl");
//list of SOAP types
print_r($client->__getTypes());
//list if SOAP Functions
print_r($client->__getFunctions());
?>

[edit] Python

Works with: Python version 2.4 and 2.5

from SOAPpy import WSDL 
proxy = WSDL.Proxy("http://example.com/soap/wsdl")
result = proxy.soapFunc("hello")
result = proxy.anotherSoapFunc(34234)

Note: SOAPpy is a third-party module and can be found at Python Web Services

[edit] VBScript

 Dim client
 Dim result
 Set client = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
 client.MSSoapInit "http://example.com/soap/wsdl"
 result = client.soapFunc("hello")
 result = client.anotherSoapFunc(34234)

[edit] Visual Objects

  LOCAL oSoapClient 	AS OLEAUTOOBJECT
  LOCAL cUrl 		AS STRING
  LOCAL uResult        AS USUAL
  oSoapClient := OLEAutoObject{"MSSOAP.SoapClient30"}
  cUrl        := "http://example.com/soap/wsdl"
  IF oSoapClient:fInit
     oSoapClient:mssoapinit(cUrl,"", "", "" )
     uResult := oSoapClient:soapFunc("hello")
     uResult := oSoapClient:anotherSoapFunc(34234)
