How to access SOAP/WSDL Web services
Web services based on the SOAP/WSDL protocols provide a very useful method to make Web based data and applications available to user code. Using some standard tools it is actually rather simple to access the services; however these tools are not widely known within the general astronomical community. On these pages we provide links to examples and templates of how to use these tools from environments and/or programming languages that the general astronomer may be more familiar with.
| Environment/language | Description | Links | IDL 6.0, Java |
The download contains example templates for accessing
GAVO Web services from within IDL.
These examples make use of the new capability of IDL (version 6.0 and later) to handle Java objects.
This allows one to employ the full potential of Java accessing SOAP Web services. To that end you will find a description on how to enable Java to connect to the Web service. | doc, download |
