%SOAPINVOKESTART{service='http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl'} %

Implementation would be

perl "-MSOAP::Lite service=>'http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl'" -le "print getQuote('MSFT')"

There can't be that many WebServices enabled Wikis about.

Of course, we'd want to be careful about performance, but sharp knives can be useful.

Martin, you bring very good ideas to this community! It is probably best to create web services as a plugin. Once we have something to experiment we understand more, can refine it, and possibly take it into the TWiki core.

Blush thañks. I think it could stay as a plug-iñ. I am ñot sure whether I have time to develop it, IŽve just started a project in Spaiñ!

see SoapClientPlugin for an initial implementation. it needs cleaning (the datatypes in the responses are in-apropriatly hard coded), but it does work. (and as a plugin should be enough)

the above eg would look like

%SOAP{service="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl" call="getQuote(MSFT)" format="| Microsoft's Stock price | $list_element |"}% %SOAP{service="http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl" call="getQuote(IBM)" format="| IBM's Stock price | $list_element |"}%
