I have no idea at this moment what could and what couldn't be considered as reusable. > What about the parameter interface. Anything in that code worth copying over > to my new implementation in Pike 8.1? Do you mean the Param class from the SOAP-helper repo? I can't find any parameter interface in the old WSDL stuff. But the Param class in SOAP-helper can handle quite complex parameters, so that one could probably be of use. Personally I hope SOAP dies :D SOAP is awesome if you are programming in Java or C# where there are tools to auto-generate entire API's for you from the WSDL files. But if you don't have that luxury it's just overly verbose and complex. I prefer REST API's with JSON :) # Pontus
