## Using soap with web2py

This requires that you install soaplib.

## The server (pure Python + soaplib)

We assume this soaplib server:

from soaplib.wsgi_soap import SimpleWSGISoapApp
    from soaplib.service import soapmethod
    from soaplib.serializers.primitive import *
    from time import ctime
    from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

class MyServer(SimpleWSGISoapApp):
        @soapmethod(_returns=String)
        def get_time(self):
            return ctime() # service implementation

make_server('', 8001, MyServer()).serve_forever()

## The client (in web2py)

The create this web2py controller that gets the time from the soap server

from soaplib.client import make_service_client
    from soaplib.wsgi_soap import SimpleWSGISoapApp
    from soaplib.service import soapmethod
    from soaplib.serializers.primitive import *

class MyServer(SimpleWSGISoapApp):
        @soapmethod(_returns=String)
        def get_time(self):
            return '' # service stub

def index():
        ### connect to server
        client=make_service_client('localhost:8001/',MyServer())
        ### call remote function
        return client.get_time()
