Rails spinoffs - Mar 2007 - Difference between ProtoType 1.5.0 and ProtoType 1.3.1

Hello All,

I have used IBM suplied ws.js which uses protitype.js version 1.3.1
for creating SOAP Envelopes and invoking the web services. Now I see
newer version of protoTYpe.js (1.5.0). I would really appreciate if
anyone can tell me the difference and its impact on using newer
version of protoType.js.

Thanks and Regards,
Syed

Jesus! 1.3.1!  That''s about 18 months old!  You''ll get a full
list of
changes by simply looking at the changelog [1], although the numerous 
fixes from 1.3.1 to 1.4.0 are not in there anymore.  There''s been a 
HUMONGOUS amount of change, so I don''t quite see how to sum them up for
you.  Since you''re shifting to a new version, I think using 1.5.1
(which
should hit final anytime soon) will be best, as it has significant 
improvements over 1.5.0, especially performance-wise.

(and btw, "Prototype" is capitalized this way ;-))

Hi,

I''ve used the IBM SOAP library, it won''t run under Prototype
v1.4 or 1.5. It
breaks on something fairly fundamental - might even be  
Object.prototype.extend(), I don''t remember now. I don''t think
the SOAP
library is being actively maintained, so if you want to update it to 
Prototype 1.5, you''d be best to do it yourself. 

My $0.02 on the library - It does a decent job of sending the request, but 
more or less leaves you to wade through the XML manually when the response 
comes in. I haven''t come across any better JS libraries for working
with
SOAP, though - my favoured approach is to consume the SOAP on the server and 
then send something simpler up to the JS layer.

Dave
