∟Calling GetSpeech SOAP 1.1 Web Service

This section provides a tutorial example on how to run HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech11.java to call the GetSpeech SOAP 1.1 Web service provided by xmlme.com.

After reviewed the HTTP request generated from HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech11.java with my socket server test program, I want to try it with the real server at xmlme.com now.

\herong>java HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech11
   http://www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx
   soap_1_1_GetSpeech_req.xml res.xml

Request length: 384
Response length: 1942

\herong>type res.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetSpeechResponse xmlns="http://xmlme.com/WebServices">
      <GetSpeechResult>&lt;SPEECH&gt;&lt;PLAY&gt;HAMLET&lt;/PLAY&gt;
        &lt;SPEAKER&gt;HAMLET&lt;/SPEAKER&gt;To be, or not to be: that
        is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
        ...&lt;/SPEECH&gt;
      </GetSpeechResult>
    </GetSpeechResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

This confirms that my HttpURLConnectionGetSpeech11.java works perfectly.
