Response to: SOAP Bloat and poor uptime

It really depends on your level of awareness with SOAP tools. Amazon provides a few sample toolkits, we used their sample Perl module and hacked it to fit our needs.


WASH is kind of a middleware package that is going to send/receive/track the soap messages in a basic way. It is NOT going to create the XML for you to send nor will it translate the incoming order XML into something meaningful like EDI.


In my opinion, creating/parsing the rather complicated XML messages was the hardest part of the whole implementation. For us it didn't make sense to purchase WASH since we'd still have to all the other work ourselves anyway.
