The KEGG service no longer does SOAP

See http://www.kegg.jp/kegg/rest/

This makes the KEGG examples not work.

Thanks. Yes, indeed. The KEGG SOAP service was taken down quite a while ago.
The examples are still in the package to show how the SOAP functionality works but, alas, cannot be run.

I was trying to use the KEGG examples to access some of the services provided by NOAA (e.g. http://opendap.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/axis/webservices/predictions/wsdl/Predictions.wsdl )

I posted a question at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24528351/using-r-soap-ssoap-to-retrieve-data-from-noaa . In particular, the getPredictions function appears to require a populated S object as a parameter that doesn't seem to be created by the genSOAPClientInterface call.

library(SSOAP)
pred.wsdl<-"http://opendap.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/axis/webservices/predictions/wsdl/Predictions.wsdl"
pred.params<-c("8454000","20140702","20140702","MLLW",0,0,60) # from NOAA's java example
tmp<-processWSDL(pred.wsdl)
ff<-genSOAPClientInterface(def=tmp,verbose=TRUE)
ff@functions$getPredictions(pred.params)

I'm missing the step that would populate a new('stationId.beginDate.endDate.datum.unit.timeZone.dataInterval') object from the pred.params, but I'm not sure how to figure that out.
