[BULK] - [Catalyst] Catalyst and SOAP?

[Mesdaq, Ali]

You could just have your soap app as a cgi script. I use soap a lot in
that method and it works perfectly. What I do is I make a intemediary
module that exposes methods in other modules. This way I can control
which methods I want exposed and don't have to expose the whole thing.

And if your accessing a .net soap service you just have to make a small
change in your request string and you have to handle the data you
receive more specifically.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the best strategy to mix a traditional Catalyst web app
and SOAP web services.

I just would like to quickly expose some actions as web services.  
However, I just could not find a Catalyst-ic way to do that (found
Catalyst::Plugin::Server but I'm not sure how to use that one).

For now, I seems that I will need to operate a separate application
(using Apache::SOAP for example) for enabling web services.

As for the "Why SOAP?" question, I'm trying to communicate with a .Net
client application. Since accessing a Web Service in .Net is a
point-and-click operation, it was a no-brainer ... until I saw the
serverside problems, that is :)

Any ideas?
