You can download my SOAP taglib from
http://ulim.cocoonhost.com/soap.tar.gz

It's up there for grabs, if one of the cocoon maintainers wants to include
it, they're free to do so :)

That is exactly what we need! Thanks a lot for the extra info. Have you
considered including this taglib in the installation package, along with
esql.xsl?

Yeah, you can do that with my taglib. There's a sample included that
shows the functionality. Basically the taglib is a generic SOAP client,
which passes as input parameters to the SOAP service it calls a string
like name1=value1&name1=value2&name2=value1 etc. This string is built
from the HTTP request parameters. The SOAP service parses this string
with a StringTokenizer and then does its magic. It should return an XML
fragment as a string. Something like "<mytag>the result</mytag>" or
whatever you choose. This XML fragment is parsed by the SOAP taglib and
appended to the current document. You can match mytag with an XSLT
stylesheet and output the result of the SOAP service to a web page, if
you wish.

I'm afraid my knowledge of SOAP is limited (we only have a working prototype
of a Web application which uses a servlet to pull data out of a remote
Oracle db via Apache SOAP). I am looking at Cocoon to use XSP/XSL instead of
HTML/servlet for the front end.

BTW, do you have any knowledge of SOAP? I wrote this taglib as an
absolute SOAP novice and I'm sure it could be much better. Also there
should be a way to install cocoon as a SOAP service.
