[Clipart] Crazy deps for DMS?

[David Illsley]

Um, while not wishing to pass judgement on what constitutes hell,  
yes, the DMS has loads of dependencies.

Just as an update to those who know I started playing with the DMS a  
couple of months ago in order to create a Java client for it, I  
stopped pretty soon after starting because the Java web services  
libraries are all built to work with WSDL described services and the  
DMS, using SOAP::Lite doesn't have this. When I asked the SOAP::Lite  
mailing list if there was any WSDL describing the SOAP::Lite specific  
types used all I got was a link to the WSDL spec and I didn't have  
the time to  decode the over-the wire SOAP messages for some complex  
perl type I don't really understand into WSDL :-(

So I haven't really completed anything particularly useful. If at  
some point there is more support in Java for non-described services  
or WSDL provided for SOAP::Lite types I might try again.
