SOAP - I hate the bloody thing.

Can I get SOAPpy to access an Axis server using digest authentication? No, I bloody can't.

Can I write decent unit tests for an Axis SOAP client? Nope. Bloody concrete classes without no-arg constructors all over the shop, so I can't mock anything - or even get Spring inserting anything worthwhile in the first place.

Next time, I'm sending the bloody messages by post.

There, rant over. I feel better now.
