[AG-DEV] Using gSOAP in the AG

[Andrew A Rowley]

Hi,

You can now find the PHP (PEAR SOAP) code from:
http://people.man.ac.uk/~zzalsar4/tcpbridge/index.php.src

with the actual page for this being at:
http://people.man.ac.uk/~zzalsar4/tcpbridge/index.php

This code connects to a venue server and lists all the venues.  Then when you select a venue, it gets the addresses and starts a new bridge I have been working on (this probably won't work just now as I think the server is down).

The java code is available at:
http://people.man.ac.uk/~zzalsar4/ag3java/

with the jar of the class files at:
http://people.man.ac.uk/~zzalsar4/ag3java/ag3.jar

This code is not complete, but is the starting of a Venue SOAP proxy in Java.  Currently, it will allow you to get the venue state, enter and exit a venue, negotiate capabilities, and send heartbeat updates.

The Java code is self contained in that it doesn't need axis or anything to work.  It contains its own SOAPSerializer and SOAPDeserialiser classes - look at the code to see how this works.  Extension of this to other methods should be easy - just copy the examples of the Venue methods.  You will also need to look at the Venue WSDL to get the correct SOAP variables in the classes.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Also, if anyone extends this code with more classes, I would appreciate it if you send me this in return!

Andrew :)
