SOAP-Service

The SOAP Service associates itself with a SOAP Envelope (1.1 and 1.2) element and can be used to send any type of SOAP messages.

The Service allows for sending the SOAP-Message to any URL, with the possibility of specifying the SOAP-Action property. The result is made viewable and can be evaluated.

The Service uses the Apache SOAP package in the background to establish the Connection and has been tested with the Google and Amazon Web-Services examples.

PIMnet-Services

The PIMnet-Services can handle the XML data as is synchronised and saved by the PIMnet Hotsync Conduits. Using the PIMnet-Services transforms the XNGR XML Browser application in an open source version of the Palm Desktop application. The current available services are for the addressbook, todolist and memopad applications.

For more information see http://pimnet.org/

These services allow the user to perform the same actions as possible on the Palm Desktop (addition, deletion and changing of the information) the services however do not support the privacy flag yet (and might never support). The addressbook service also allows for changing the custom labels.

Every PIMnet-Service has:

  • A 'main application' where the user can change the information as contained in the XML file.
  • A mechanism to add, delete and change categories.
  • A dialog which allws the user to change the element.
  • A details dialog which displays the details about the element when the user has selected the element in the explorer window.

Setup the PIMnet-Services

  • Download and install the Java Conduit Manager.
  • Download and add the PIMnet Hotsync Conduits to the Conduit Manager.
  • Synchronise the Palm handheld with the desktop.
  • Download and Install the XNGR XML Browser application.
  • Download the PIMnet-Services and add the services to the XNGR XML Browser desktop.
  • Add the XML documents as syncronised between the desktop and the handheld to the XNGR XML Browser explorer.

Note: The Java Conduit Manager at the moment only supports win32 environments. Synchronising the information between handheld and desktop in other environments is therefor not yet possible.
