Problem 1:    SOAPpyConverter Web Service
This is intended to be simple exercise in working with multiple web services.

• all servers will:
• return a list of what operations it supports
• echo function to return message passed
• quit/stop function to kill server remotely
• use a naming convention such as mptMath, mptGeom, mptSolve, etc. (mpt are my initials).
• servers should form a unique ID
  
• clients
• should have a unique ID to be associated with services
  
• the basic math service will support  operations such as:
  
• add, sub, div, mult
• trig functions
• exponential, sqrt
• event/logging:
• services should send messages to this service whenever they perform a task.
  
• ID should be composited of client and service ID's, along with date, time, etc.
  
• the conversion solver should support:
• unit conversion between metric and US:
• eg. convert inches, feet, yards, miles, to millimeters, meters, km, etc.
  
• physical quantities: e.g. temperature conversion (F <--> C)
• scale converter (e.g. 'milli' to 'peta', etc).
  
• Must support datatypes:
  
• integer, floating point
• Both client and server should accept command line ags
• to connect to a specific server, eg.  -h http://acel.sdsu.edu:8888, or default to a server

Problem 2:   SOAPpy echoClient.py, echoServer.py and echoHeader.py

• Run these codes and explain how these routines work.

Problem 3:  http://developerdays.com/cgi-bin/tempconverter.exe/wsdl/ITempConverter

• Write a SOAPpy client to this WSDL service.
