Hi all,

Ok, this might be a dumb question, but I’ve been on google all day and  
couldn’t find an anwser, so here it goes.

I just did a soap4r web service for a project I developed. I was really  
a piece of cake. I even have the wsdl and all. The thing is, at some  
point I will need to deploy it on some server that I won’t be  
administrating, and I want it to be as easy as possible, both deployment  
and maintenance. Right now I can run it as a separate process on some  
random port. The ideal scenario for me would be for it to be run through  
Apache, some how, so that it will not need to be launched by a separate  
process, it uses a standard 80 port and can use ssl or whatever if its  
set on the server. Although this last thing is not really important. Can  
this be done? How?

If this is not possible, how do you suggest I go about it?

Thanks for your time

Miki

BTW, I’m using SOAP::RPC::StandaloneServer as in:

[http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/browser/trunk/sample/soap/helloworld/hw\_s.rb?rev=1520](http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/browser/trunk/sample/soap/helloworld/hw_s.rb?rev=1520)

I think you’ll need SOAP::RPC::CGIStub as in:

[http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/browser/trunk/sample/soap/calc/server.cgi?rev=1520](http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/browser/trunk/sample/soap/calc/server.cgi?rev=1520)

and related files.

Yes, that makes sense, I’ll check it out.
