Management Service 2.0 : Creating a Client
In essence a Soap service, such as the Management Service, is a web service to which a client has to POST a specifically formatted HTTP Header and XML message, to in turn retrieve XML containing the data a client is after. To implement a client that consumes the Management Service, it would therefore suffice to manually craft the request message, post it to the service and deserialize the XML response. However, it's often much more convenient to use code generating tools that are built into IDE's, part of your platform, or exist as standalone applications. We have tested various platforms and IDEs against the Management Service, and all make implementing a client trivial. (((Most IDE's can import WSDL files and generate proxy code for it.{BR} The WSDL file for the Management Service is here:{BR} [https://services.companywebcast.com/management/2.0/managementservice.svc?wsdl|https://services.companywebcast.com/management/2.0/managementservice.svc?wsdl]))) Check the links below for sample code and some discussion about ways to consume the Management Service with different platfoms. Please note that in most cases these were created without deep knowledge of the actual platform, so better solutions may exist. In all cases sample code is provided for demo purposes only, they are not production ready. * [ManagementService_2.0_Howto_CreatePHPClient|Php Sample]
