Hi guys, I'm sure y'all have received the attached resources from safcom. Now, I can normally parse the wsdl files with php, and get a list of methods described in those wsdl files. Its normally a two line thing as follows: <?php $client = new *SoapClient*('QueueTimeoutNofication_1_0.wsdl'); *var_dump*($client->__getFunctions()); ... it aint working though. If anyone has better tools, please dump the methods detailed by the wsdl file here for all to see and admire (as opposed to giving me a link to http://lmgtfy.com/ :-D ... that won't help spread the knowledge). It may help to note that one has to be within safaricom's (or mpesa's) VPN to actually make the soap calls. It may also help to note that they probably use that microsoft WCF (windows communication foundation) web-services thingy, I've found that the web-service infrastructure can be easily set to run on two ports: one port for the modern WCF web service, and another port for "backwards-compatibility" with older standards like soap.... and I hope it already runs in this manner. I need the list of methods to develop some code and apps "by faith", and ask to be joined into the VPN to test them out. Cheers y'all

No we have not but thanks for providing it. Just out of curiosity (in case anyone knows why) why on earth did they use SOAP? -Billy 2013/8/26 John Doe Smith Kamau KipNg'etich Jones <skunkworks.ku@gmail.com>

Hi John Doe? I have written RESTful Web services and there certainly seems to be nothing wrong with them. Never had to deal with SOAP but from what I know (I have seen one or two implementations), they are a tad more complex than their REST counterparts, incur a little overhead in terms of processor time and memory to set-up and operate. I think older (legacy) applications are more likely to have have their Web services done using the SOAP architecture than newer ones being written currently. I could be wrong. I liken the use of the two to the preference of XML over json or vice versa for transmitting data over the Web today. Martin.
