I’m currently developing a web-site for the public transportation system based on the Trafikanten API (http://reis.trafikanten.no/topp2009/topp2009ws.asmx)
The site has several functionalities though it’s Web-Services. It is implemented done in .NET framework with SOAP format. But we need to consume it’s functionalities in client side language like JavaScript to be able to display the information in web-page. Can anybody suggest some easy way to cope this scenario?
Provided you’re using a LAMP stack:
I would write a PHP script using the nusoap (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/) libarary to consume the SOAP web service and return JSON to your JavaScript via an AJAX call.
Edit
It’s even easier in .NET. Just right click on your project and choose Add a web service. Then you can access methods of the web service just as you would any other object. As far as using it in JS, you could implement create an ASP page that outputs the results in JSON format and then consume that using jQuery as you would with a LAMP stack. Although, with the post back abilities of ASP, you might be better off letting it do the heavy lifting in JS and consume the web services directly in your code file behind your view.
Hope that helps.
