Django SOAP service with soaplib

Question

Hi, I am looking to create a SOAP service in my Django application, but have encountered a few taps. Firstly, I was able to successfully complete the Hello World (soaplib Hello World) tutorial (google "soaplib hello world", since I can only use one hyperlink, since this is my first question), which uses the CheryPy WSGI server to start the service. and the soaplib client, initiate a SOAP request.

I am having trouble converting this to a service in Django using this djangosnippets snippet . I am currently using a Django development server.

Viewing http://localhost:8000/hello_world/ in a browser or a SOAP request using the soaplib client returns a Django error page with the error:

Tried hello_world_service in module foo.views. Error was: 'module' object has no attribute 'hello_world_service'

Obviously urls.py matches correctly, but there shouldn't be a hello_world_service view according to this django snippet I'm linked to.

I feel that I am missing the last step, and any knowledge will be really useful.

Thanks Marcus

According to the snippet you are linking to, the bottom of your views.py file should contain the following line:

 hello_world_service = HelloWorldService() 

This maps an instance of the HelloWorldService class to hello_world_service for use in your urls.py file.

If this line is included, then there really will be a view with that name, so the URL manager should find it.

Hope it does,
