# views.py - sample view

from soaplib_handler import DjangoSoapApp, soapmethod, soap_types


class HelloWorldService(DjangoSoapApp):

    __tns__ = 'http://my.namespace.org/soap/'

    @soapmethod(soap_types.String, soap_types.Integer, _returns=soap_types.Array(soap_types.String))
    def say_hello(self, name, times):
        results = []
        for i in range(0, times):
            results.append('Hello, %s'%name)
        return results

# urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    (r'^hello_world/', 'foo.views.hello_world_service'),
    (r'^hello_world/service.wsdl', 'foo.views.hello_world_service'),
)

can test it with a soaplib client:

from soaplib.client import make_service_client
from foo.views import HelloWorldService
client = make_service_client('http://localhost:8000/hello_world/', HelloWorldService())
client.say_hello('John', 2)


['Hello, John', 'Hello, John']
