Davey Shafik's weblog has a new posting today - the third part of his Automatic Web Services series.

Finally, I am close to finished with this code. Its only been 5 months since I first teased you with my work on automating SOAP web services.

Since then, a lot of code has been re-done, re-worked, deleted and generally slapped about. [...] The only thing really stopping a release, is I have still yet to decide on how to handle warnings/notices. Fatal errors are all pure exceptions now however.

When called in a browser, it will display basic documentation for the server. When called with the GET param 'wsdl' (i.e. example.com/myserver.php?wsdl) it will return the WSDL XML - similar to .NET I believe. And, when called with a SOAP Client its the actual SOAP Server.

For more information on these web services or on the Cerebal Cortex software, check out this wiki.
