Amazon SOAP web service + Cocoon = ?

[Tony Collen <tc...@hist.umn.edu>]

Hi all-

I took the Google SOAP XSP script as a starting point and opened up my 
shiny new copy of the Amazon web services developer's kit.  Much to my 
amazement, I got it working :)  

Here's a basic XSP script to use with Amazon. It will do a basic keyword 
search for "cocoon" and return the results.  This XSP will retrieve 
"heavy" results - ie everything.. salesrank, user comments, etc.  Be 
sure to replace the [YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN_HERE] with the key you get 
from Amazon at 
https://associates.amazon.com/exec/panama/associates/join/developer/application.html

I'm working on a useful XSL script, perhaps I will contribute it in a 
few days time.  The version I am working at is live at 
http://134.84.151.92/cocoon-2.0.3/amazon.html - this URL will probably 
not be permanent, nor do I guarantee it will work :)

Happy SOAPing,

Tony
