Open-Xchange Provisioning using SOAP
Provision Open-Xchange using SOAP
Beneath RMI and commandline, Open-Xchange can be provisioned using SOAP.
The setup instructions for the SOAP services can be find in this document.
Known limitations
Note, however, due to a limitation in the used technology (WSDL autogeneration), it is NOT possible to build the SOAP client using technologies like WSDL2JAVA or any other software that relies on a properly defined WSDL.
Only Perl (using SOAP::Lite) and PHP is known to work with the current implementation. The Plesk and POA integration is using PHP and the cPanel integration is using Perl to provision Open-Xchange using SOAP.
Example code
You can find Perl and PHP example code in the cvs within the repository open-xchange-admin-soap. Checkout using the command
$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.open-xchange.com:/cvsroot co open-xchange-admin-soap
