Re: Web services and J2ME

Since you presumably know the finite set of SOAP methods you will be calling, 
you can hard-code the request strings on the client-side, and just replace the 
variables with your dynamic request data. You can approach the responses in the 
same way- just do some basic sax XML parsing instead of worrying about the 
whole SOAP structure. 

Obviously, you will be losing the full power, flexibility, and architectural 
integrity of using KSOAP (or a similar SOAP stack), but sometimes in this crazy 
embedded world, you have to give that up in exchange for efficiency.

Hello,

Here is our issue. We need to make our MIdlet communicate with one of our 
customer's web services. The web service needs to get a SOAP request. 
1) We could use KSoap on the MIdlet but it takes 35k and our application is 
already pretty big, so I don't think we would able to stay under 64K (required 
for most phones right now).
2) The other solution is to transform our Java request (output string) into 
soap on the server side. The problem here is that they don't really want to 
install Tomcat on their server. We could use our server as a gateway and then 
call their server with the SOAP request but it seems it would add some latency 
time and we would rather have everything on their server.

Does anybody have another idea? A way to create the SOAP request on their 
server without having to use Tomcat?

Thank you

Emmanuel
