SOAP Quizz

[John WILSON <jw...@yahoo.fr>]

Hi There,

Let us say I want to create an order. I using soap to
send in my order request that looks like this:

1 OrderBrief Object made up of:
     * 1 Delivery Address (VODeliveryAddress)
     * n Article Orders (VOOrderLines)

SOAP generates a very nice message for me:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

		</item>
	</VOOrderLines>
</VOOrderBrief>
</ns1:createOrder>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Ok, it's a bit long... 

Now when vaidating my order on the server side, I find
out that the zip code of the delivery address is not
quite correct, and that the last item I wish to
purchase does not have a valid article number...

What do you think the answer should be???
I would very much like to have a list of all the
errors in my order to correct them in one go.

This you may say is application specific... Probably
so , but you will soon enough find out that you will
be having very similar problems and shouldn't this be
standardized?

It is a nice thing to send objects on the network in a
standardized manner but it is also necessary to tell
the guy sending the object on the network what is
wrong with his object...

Is there a standard for this kind of error handling...

Cheers and thanks
