XslTransport for PocketSOAP 

I built this object to use as a testing tool.  You can set up an XSL document to generate Faults, or to simulate certain responses, without having to go to a lot of trouble.  It helps isolate payload processing errors from transport binding errors.  To see how you can build SOAP endpoints using XSL, check out Kafka.

I have included a piece of sample code below that uses the XslTransport object.  For more information on the PocketSOAP, click here.

Private Sub DoXsl_Click()
    Dim soap As New PocketSOAP.CoEnvelope

    soap.MethodName = "GetSecretIdentity"
    soap.URI = "http://www.vbxml.com/soapworkshop/services/id/"

    soap.CreateParameter "codename", "Mr. Fantastic", "xsd:string"

    Dim t As New PSOAPXSLLib.XslTransport
    t.Send "d:\vbxml\web\vbxml\soapworkshop\services\id\id.xsl", soap.Serialize
    soap.parse t.Receive

    MsgBox soap.Parameters.ItemByName("Result").Value

End Sub

XslTransport is free.  There is currently no install program, just download the psoapxsl DLL and register it on your machine.  I plan to match the extensions I write for the Microsoft SOAP Toolkit one-for-one with PocketSOAP extensions.  If you do download XslTransport, please sign up for our discussion group get notified of more SOAP developments at VBXML.COM.  Also, if you come up with any great XSL documents for testing, please share them.
