SOAP

[Alan Riggs]

Has anyone implemented SOAP in a mixed HP-UX, NT environment?

I am looking particularly for information on integrating SOAP with Corba and for underlying requirements (httpd, java, etc.)

Of course, first and foremost I need to know whether SOAP on HP-UX is a supported product.

Hi Alan,

Don't know but if it is I bet it's a clean install ;-)

Ouch -- you get points only because I am a long practitioner of equally bad puns.

John, you're a riot!

First, I went looking for SOAP -> is a way for a program running in one kind of operating system (such as ) to communicate with a progam in the same or another kind of an operating system (such as Linux) by using the World Wide Web's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)and its Extensible Markup Language (XML) as the mechanisms for information exchange. It has been proposed as a standard interface to the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Found a great article on it at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/periodic/period00/soap.htm.

Having cleaned up there, I slipped my way through various sources and no, I don't believe it is supported by HP as of yet.

Thanks Berlene, I was afraid of that.

I'm still holding out hope that someone else has experimented with a soap implementation on top of Corba for HP-UX. Anyone?

I hate being on the bleedin--er, cutting edge.
