WsdlClient's #loadFrom:

It's too bad #loadFrom doesn't send #asURI to whatever it's sent. It's
easy enough for me to add (Smalltalk allows that kind of fun) but as
soon as I do that I wonder what will happen if a subsequent version of
#loadFrom: will do it for me or worse, do something else.

Which would be recommend, adding #loadFromString: or modifying
#loadFrom:? I think I'm leaning towards #loadFromString:.

The biggest problem with that is now there's two methods where only one
is really necessary, and both methods #loadFrom: and #loadFromString:
start to resemble static typing to me. Do they anyone else? From that
standpoint I'd rather modify #loadFrom: to send #asURI to its parameter
just to keep it's protocol to a minimum.

RE: WsdlClient's #loadFrom:

The API
WsdlClient class>>readFrom:
WsdlClient>>loadFrom:
except as a parameter any data source. The data source may be a URI, a Filename (or a String which will be treated as a Filename), or an InputSource.

If you want to use only URL there is another method:
WsdlClient class>>url:

The request could be;
wsdlClient := WsdlClient url:
'http://lepago.homeip.net/HelloLangJB4EJB/HelloLangEndpointPort?wsdl'.
args := Array with: 'hello'.
value := wsdlClient executeSelector: #sayHello args: args.

That is much better, and makes for a better example:

| wsdlClient |
wsdlClient := WsdlClient url:
'http://lepago.homeip.net/HelloLangJB4EJB/HelloLangEndpointPort?wsdl'.
wsdlClient executeSelector: #sayHello args: #('Hello, world!').

That's how Smalltalk should be. Short and obvious.

In reply to this post by Thomas Gagné-2

Actually next time if you need to create a request using a Wsdl client you can run:
wsdlClient := WsdlClient url:
'http://lepago.homeip.net/HelloLangJB4EJB/HelloLangEndpointPort?wsdl'.
(Script := wsdlClient createScript) inspect.

The script will have a sample of the request for this client.
