   • Does a SOAP client really need to use a WSDL?

     Top Answer

     Answered Oct 21, 2016 · 3 votes

     There is no inherent issue creating SOAP requests like this, but there are some pitfalls:

     • If the schema/wsdl of the service you're invoking changes, you'll have to reflect that in the code that creates the SOAP requests. If you use WSDL you just need to re-run your data-binder using the update WSDL/schema.
     • Creating and parsing XML using strings isn't a great idea. You should use DOM, and serialise that, before sending it in your HTTP/SOAP request.

     The SOAP service won't see any difference between clients using WSDL/data-binding and code that creates the SOAP requests in other ways. As long as your request matches the request schema, and you set your SOAP-Action HTTP header you should be fine.

     In some cases there is a good argument for not using WSDL, where your component is a message broker (such as middleware) that needs to receive and forward loads of different message types, some of which you may not even have a WSDL definition for.

   • What port number does SOAP use?

     There is no such thing as "SOAP protocol". SOAP is an XML schema.

     It usually runs over HTTP (port 80), however.

   • what does format(a, str(b)) mean?

     Top Answer

     Here is the documentation for the format function, which turns objects into strings. The second argument is passed as a string in this mini language, which says how to format the value.

     But in your case, it's trivial, because the format specification string is just "4", which specifies the width (of the result).

   • Does the FedEx shipping API have a SOAP endpoint?

     Top Answer

     Answered May 16, 2017 · 10 votes

     Their site has changed since the other 2 answers here.

     The most direct answer is that they do not have a classic WSDL endpoint, where you just get a URL, Add Service Reference and go.

     Instead they have you download a zip file which contains a wsdl file which you then use locally - pretty odd. That wsdl file changes name over time, as does the zip, with every version - but the current file is at:

     https://images.fedex.com/templates/components/apps/wpor/secure/downloads/wsdl/201607/standard/RateService.zip

     My guess is you can get at it without logging in given the images subdomain, likely a CDN.

     Once that link dies here's how you currently navigate their obtuse Developer section, which they'll probably also change again:

     http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/

     Click FedEx Web Services on the left

     Under the unclickable "Document and Downloads" part of the page, click Move to Downloads

     Scroll to the bottom - there's a weird table with service names like "Quote Rates." Each time you expand a row, the header row will have some Download text stuffed into it. Clicking "WSDL" gets you the zip file.

     Not the worst process for getting a simple WSDL I've seen but, they're definitely in the running.

     As you retrieve data from the API, you should use GET. (the latitude and longitude are filters for the APIs)

   How XML is used in soap?

   • As we’ve mentioned, when sending requests and response messages within web applications, SOAP requires XML exchange between systems. And when the request is received, SOAP APIs send messages back XML-coded only. Besides the data format, SOAP has another level of standardization – its message structure.
