I am still in the everything-fucked-up phase with my mobile project. The task seemed easy. I wanted to create a mobile application (MIDP) which interacts with an existing web application. The creator of the web app and i agreed on using webservices for data interchange. So far so good. We started with XML-RPC, but having problems on both ends (the webapp is written in PHP) and only having a few minutes per week for this thing, i trashed this approach.

Now i just downloaded kSoap2 (for the MIDP side) and NuSoap (PHP/Server side) and digged throught the examples, they seem to be as easy as the XML-RPC ones. I know that all this SOAP messaging for plain old method calls with plain old data types is an extremely bad idea when it comes to performance, but i really want to deploy a webservice client on this damn mobile phone.

I will report on these efforts as soon as my testscenario is set up. But now its late again and i have to work tomorrow. Did i mention that i have to write about 90 powerpoint slides for iSeries DevCon till august 10th? Where is my non IT life...?
