Hi Ted,

Here is one that seems alive

I got the WSDL for this service and generated (using Axis) the java client for this web service. The service is not the 'greatest' in terms of simplicity (and so may not be great as an example). See below for the docs on the generated methods.
What do people think? Are there other/more SOAP-based services that people think are good/simple/clear?

Hi Ted,

Yeah, these look pretty good.  Any opinions/views about which one to use?
i.e. EBayWatcherService, Delayed Stock Quote, CA Traffic Conditions, or etc?

I don't particularly care...but it would be good to use one that people
would find compelling as an example.

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
