SOAPServer-class {SSOAP}R Documentation

Classes for SOAP Server object

Description

These classes provide a way to describe the location of a SOAP server. This is separate from the servers actions. Rather, we use this to represent the identity of the server in terms of its Web address, i.e. the machine name or IP address, port number and URI or path within the server. The different classes represent the communication protocol, typically HTTP or HTTPS, i.e. HTTP over SSL, the secure communication protocol.

Objects from the Class

The function SOAPServer is used as the general constructor. Alternatively, one can use the new syntax, new("HTTPServer", host = "www.omegahat.org", url = "theServer")

Slots

host:
Object of class "character". The machine name or IP address of the server.
port:
Object of class "integer". The port number, if other than the default HTTP port 80.
url:
Object of class "character". The document within the server that is the location of the server.

Methods

$
signature(x = "SOAPServer", name = "character"): returns a function that will invoke the server's method whose name is given by name. This is merely syntactic sugar to allow the expression server\$foo(1, 2, 3) to invoke the method foo in the remote server.
