SOAP and Applet
Hello,
I have developed a web service and would like to access it through an
applet running on a browser. Do you know where I can find a good
sample/tutorial showing how to develop such an applet (I am beginner in
applet development)?

Hi Bruno,
I am attaching a small sample applet that runs against
the Currency
Conversion service listed at xmethods
(http://www.xmethods.com/ve2/ViewListing.po?serviceid=5.)
For an applet, you'd want to use a very lightweight
SOAP client- Apache SOAP
is not the best fit in such cases. This is because the
entire SOAP client
(including the XML parser) needs to bundled inside the
applet. I am using
Wingfoot SOAP (http://www.wingfoot.com) for developing
this applet. Wingfoot
SOAP is about 20k in size- this includes the XML
parser.
Another issue that you'd come across in an applet is
the applet security
restrictions against opening a socket to a server
other than that it's been
downloaded from. See
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/Signed/
for information on overcoming this restriction.
Hope this helps.
