I would like to have an IOC talk to hardware that communicates using SOAP. In theory, I could setup an appropriate protocol file for Streamdevice and use a raw TCP connection to port 80. Has anyone done this? Is there a better method?
Hi Scott,I would try to do this with StreamDevice. However, StreamDevice requires that the general form of the message is always the same. In particular if you have multiple values in one message, the values should always come in the same order. In SOAP, you could in principle have arbitrary order, and arbitrary numbers of values, too. But normally a device would not change the format randomly.
On the other hand, an XML parser for EPICS may be an interesting exercise. Dirk
