Lots of places in WordPress use xml_parse including the Atom library, the XML-RPC Library that we use, and SimplePie The oembed class uses SimpleXML. The WordPress Importer and Jetpack actually use both (Jetpack for different things, and the importer tries to use SimpleXML and falls back if it doesn’t exist). Basically, there’s nothing built into … Read more
I can’t speak to SOAP specifically, but I did build a plugin (private) for a client once that had to communicate with a proprietary third-party web service. In this case, it was a non-RESTful interface which used a mix of querystrings and XML POST requests for submitting queries (depending on the complexity of the type … Read more
I would abstract the specific SOAP library away, so you can add support for more clients later. Similar to how WP_Http is a proxy for multiple HTTP implementations, and chooses depending on the server capabilities. I must have played with some of these libraries before but I don’t remember which one. In general I prefer … Read more
With a good RESTful service, it’s not necessary to generate WADL (let alone the much-less-well-fitting WSDL) for it because it will self-describe. By “self-describe” I specifically mean that it will deliver documents describing all the (relevant) resources published by the service, and that using a standard HTTP OPTIONS request on any of these will produce … Read more
WCF isn’t automatically REST or SOAP, but you can make it that way. What you need here is a tutorial: WCF http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/406096/A-beginners-tutorial-for-understanding-Windows REST http://rest.elkstein.org/ Here’s some other interesting stuff: WCF – REST / SOAP WCF and REST Or you can do a google/bing/metacrawler/altavista search on your own…..
Look at the exception: This means that there’s no bean available to fulfill that dependency. Yes, you have an implementation of the interface, but you haven’t created a bean for that implementation. You have two options: Annotate UserDaoImpl with @Component or @Repository, and let the component scan do the work for you, exactly as you have done with UserService. Add the … Read more
To implement simple SOAP clients in Java, you can use the SAAJ framework (it is shipped with JSE 1.6 and above, but removed again in Java 11): SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) is mainly used for dealing directly with SOAP Request/Response messages which happens behind the scenes in any Web Service API. It allows … Read more
Unfortunately, there are a lot of misinformation and misconceptions around REST. Not only your question and the answer by @cmd reflect those, but most of the questions and answers related to the subject on Stack Overflow. SOAP and REST can’t be compared directly, since the first is a protocol (or at least tries to be) … Read more
