I've written a very trivial SOAP client in pure OCaml.  I'm inter= ested
in what people think about the approach I've used.

Instead = of parsing WSDL, what I'm doing is allowing you to define the
interface = as a familiar .mli file, as in the example below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------= ---
type campaign =3D {
  dailyBudget : int;
  = ;id : int;
  name : string;
}

val hello : string -&g= t; string
val goodbye : string -> string
val concat : string -> string -> string
val show : campaign -&= gt; unit
---------------------------------------------------------------= -------

The .mli file is then parsed using camlp4 macros and convert= ed into
stub functions.  These can be called, and generate real SOAP = calls to
the remote SOAP server.

I have a very early, experimenta= l package for people to play with.
This tarball contains a Perl server (= based on SOAP::Lite) and the
OCaml client.

http://annexia.org/tmp/simplesoap-0.0.1.tar.gz

It requi= res PXP, ocamlnet, equeue and PCRE.

Any type of feedback is very wel= come.

Rich.
