I do not know what SOAP is, never really looked into it. However we work with a customer where we suport a Zope/Plone intranet running on a linux server that is burried deep in a Windows environment. What I do there is calling all that *.net stuff (which is not SOAP I know) trough a thin layer that uses python's URL-lib. Robert Richard Jones wrote:

I've looked around for SOAP support in Zope, and all I seem to be able to find are either patches from way back in 2000 to implement it (with no followup that I can find), statements around that time from ZC saying it's implemented or much more recent statements (January this year) saying that Zope supports SOAP (in response to a query similar to mine):

"Well, you can call any Zope method with SOAP as far as I have tried (from Flash that is). Works fine." (http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2004-January/145483.html)

So I just tried to invoke some simple Zope methods with SOAPpy, and got "error in processing external entity reference" even for a simple python script "return 'hello'" (which I know from experience works from XML-RPC clients).

So, is SOAP supported? If yes, is there any documentation to tell me *how* it is supported?
