If I can outline what we have, can some one guide me in the right direction so I don't reinvent the wheel here? Thanks: We have the following: 1) A RPC based CLIENT API for access to our server databases. 2) We have a converters for the following: C to PASCAL to create headers and function protocol C to JAVA C to DELPHI C to FoxPro So we have the ability to create any other interface we need. 3) A server-side compiled BASIC-like language. Compiled modules can run standalone and/or via HTTP request. The applets have WCX extensions. 4) Currently, our server are distributed with canned client connectivity software, so for example our WEB interface come with a library of WCX modules to provide the Web Services such as Email, Mail Forums and File Uploads/Downloads. The customer can customize it by editing our html templates (akin to ASP) and/or customizing the server-side modules. 5) All HTTP request are handled using standard URL argument processing or POST mime multi-part data processing. So, I want to see what do I need to do to expose our API/SDK to the outside world. What are my choices here? It seems to me after spending over 1 week researching and exploring XML/SOAP, then we can: a) Create an SDK converter to create the WSDL URL....? b) Prepare our HTTP request processor by adding another layer to handle XML data. What is SOAP/RPC? Can I use SDK converter to create a SOAP/RPC "Definition" file? whatever that is? I'm just trying to see what I need to do to quickly create whatever it is to expose our API/SDK. Any info would be greatly appreciated. ---
