Important Observations

  • The HTTPInboundXMLBindService and HTTPOutboundXMLBindService can be used effectively on opposite sides of a transaction.

  • The HTTPOutboundXMLService is useful when *POSTing content.

  • The same XML must be used to create both sides of the client/server transaction.

  • Wherever one side creates inbound bindings, the other side creates outbound bindings (and vice versa). The same complementary rule is true for GET and SET commands.

Tips & Techniques

  • Use a form to call the client Integrator function

  • It is useful to code each side of a client/server interaction separately, but keeping in mind exactly what is expected from each side.
