Dear all,
I've been trying on and off for the past few months to get SSOAP to work with
chemspider. First I tried the WSDL file:
cs<-processWSDL("http://www.chemspider.com/MassSpecAPI.asmx?WSDL";)
Error in parse(text = paste(txt, collapse = "\n")) :
<text>:1:29: unexpected input
1: function(x, ..., obj = new( ‚
^
In addition: Warning message:
In processWSDL("http://www.chemspider.com/MassSpecAPI.asmx?WSDL";) :
Ignoring additional <service><port> ... elements
Next I've tried using just the pure .SOAP to call the database.
s <- SOAPServer("http://www.chemspider.com/MassSpecAPI.asmx";)
csid<- .SOAP(s, "SearchByMass2", mass=89.04767, range=0.01,
action = I("http://www.chemspider.com/SearchByMass2";),
xmlns = c("http://www.chemspider.com";), .opts = list(verbose = TRUE))
This seems to work and gives back a result. However, this result isn't the
right result. It's seems to have converted the mass into 0. When I run the
similar program in perl I get the correct id's. So this isn't a server side
problem but SSOAP. Any thoughts or suggestions on other packages to use?
Further infomation about the SeachByMass2 method and it's xml that it's
expecting.

Cheers,
Paul
PS Placing a fake error in the .SOAP code I can look at the xml it's sending to
the server:
