Hi David,

The best option for integrating a Web Service lookup in Aplaws/CCM is to
create a new Content Type extending the Form Item content type. Create a new
authoring step to include all the Web Service related data such as server
address, path, port, action, etc. Here you can even include the XML payload
generated manually by hand. Provide a stylesheet which styles the results as
per your requirements. 

Or the other option is to use Apache
Axis(http://ws.apache.org/axis/index.html) to create XML payload by parsing
the Form fields. This will require some additional coding.

Come to think of it, it might be better to extend the Form Section Item to
create the web service, because then you have the option of including it in
a Form item. E.g. a postcode lookup service in a form.

Regards,
Ainga

Subject: RE: [redhat-ccm-list] Accessing Web Services


Hi,

Sorry didn't realise how vague my first post was.

Basically we want to be able to retrieve information that is available
via Web Services, transform the retrieved xml and display it somewhere
on our CMS.  I am just wondering if anyone can suggest the best way to
go about doing this.  I'd also like to know what external packages I
might need to install to do the above

We're not worried about being able to host web services at the moment,
just access existing external ones.

In response to Neil - probably a bit of both, I don't have any
experience of utilising Web Services with Java so I guess that might be
the best place to start. I've been playing with APLAWS for the past 6
months so know my way around reasonably well.

I think basically I just want a starting point.

Hope this makes more sense. Thanks again.

David

Hi David

Do you want to know how to write the Java code for accessing web
services
(eg from a displayed wsdl) or how to actually integrate this Jave into
the
CCM?

Neil

Could you be more specific about what you mean by "access web
services"? 
Perhaps an example?
