R – Which Amazon web services can be used with Delphi ‘out of the box’

amazon-web-servicesdelphidelphi-2009soap

The feature matrix for Delphi says: 'Added in 2007! SOAP features updated to support Amazon, eBay, MapPoint, and more'.

I was able to build a working client, without special workarounds for the Amazon Simple Queue Service. With Amazon SimpleDB, I ran out of luck (but not because of Delphi, see here).

Which Amazon web services have you sucessfully tested or used with Delphi 2007 (or 2009)?

Was it necessary to use special workarounds to make it work?

I'm using n software Amazon Integrator in my current project for a client. It's not cheap, but supports most of Amazon's services (Simple Storage Service (S3), Simple Queue Service (SQS), SimpleDB, Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and E-Commerce Service (AWS)). It's not "out of the box" solution, but with a help of a third party component.

My best guess is that Delphi seems to be producing too many Geocode elements - there doesn't appear to be any thing that corresponds to NS2:Geocode in the C# produced XML. If you can intercept the XML and change it so that it looks like this, who knows - it might work:

    ...
    <NS1:Geocode xmlns:NS1="http://dev.virtualearth.net/webservices/v1/geocode/contracts">
        <parameters href="#2"/>
    </NS1:Geocode>
    <NS3:request id="2" xsi:type="NS3:GeocodeRequest">
    ...

The other problem could be that the Bing service doesn't support the way Delphi organizes the SOAP request.

It that doesn't work, perhaps you can find another SOAP library you can use with Delphi - perhaps resorting to wrapping a library with a C or COM interface.
