RE: XSL Based Soap Endpoint in Cocoon Examples - Scanned for vir us

[Michael Homeijer <M....@devote.nl>]

Hi Steve,
 
I don't think this would be the way Cocoon would handle SOAP endpoints.
IMHO soap is just another channel in cocoon. I think this could be
implemented by translating a WSDL file into sitemap syntax (eg. a matcher
for the endpoint and some sort of matcher for the requests).
 
I am not sure by which components the soap envelope will be represented or
wether a translator and serializer are needed to create the return envelope.
 
Maybe someone on the cocoon mailing list is interested in continuing this
discussion.

Dear  Michael:  
 
    I came across your Soap examples in Cocoon.  
    However, they are about six months old, so I
    assume you are no longer working on this.
 
    I am looking for an environment that would
    allow the creation of pure XSL written 
    SOAP endpoints.  For example, something
    like:


<xsl:template match="SOAP-ENV:Envelope"> 
  <SOAP-ENV:Envelope> 
    <xsl:apply-templates/> 
  </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="SOAP-ENV:Body"> 
  <SOAP-ENV:Body> 
    <xsl:apply-templates/> 
  </SOAP-ENV:Body> 
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="soap-request_A"> 
  <!-- 
     Logic to create response according to 
     incomming request elements and values. 
  --> 
</xsl:template> 

 
    Does you contribution to Cocoon begin down
    this path?  Or is it something different?
 
    Thanks in advance:
 

          Sincerely:
