Soap info. SOAP. Characteristics[edit] SOAP can form the foundation layer of a web services protocol stack, providing a basic messaging framework upon which web services can be built.
This XML-based protocol consists of three parts: an envelope, which defines what is in the message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing procedure calls and responses. SOAP has three major characteristics: extensibility (security and WS-routing are among the extensions under development), neutrality (SOAP can be used over any transport protocol such as HTTP, SMTP, TCP, UDP, or JMS), and independence (SOAP allows for any programming model). As an example of how SOAP procedures can be used, a SOAP message could be sent to a web site that has web services enabled, such as a real-estate price database, with the parameters needed for a search.

The tools simplify the development of SOAP/XML Web services and XML application in C and C++ using autocode generation and advanced mapping methods. 1.1 Getting Started To start building Web services applications or automate XML data bindings with gSOAP, you need: The gSOAP package from (select gSOAP toolkit standard edition from the list of software packages) A C or C++ compiler. 1.2 Quick Start: Developing a Web Service Client Application The gSOAP tools minimize application adaptation efforts for building Web Services by using a XML data binding for C and C++ implemented by advanced XML schema analyzers and source-to-source code generation tools. Compile with. GSOAP - GridSiteWiki.
gSOAP: SOAP C++ Web Services. Creating a gSoap eBay Client Application with Visual C++ 2008. Download source code - 1.12 MB Introduction One would think that writing a client application using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) in Visual C++ would be a non-trivial task.
SOAP interface calls are (more or less) human-readable text transported across HTTP, a ubiquitous Internet transport protocol. It should be a simple matter of putting together the proper data payload, wrapped in properly formatted HTTP and SOAP headers, and sending the message across the wire, taking into account SSL security.
The reality is interacting with eBay using SOAP and C++ is not as straightforward as one might think. First, despite being the most widely used programming language that has ever existed in the history of mankind and its universal support on every modern computing platform, eBay has chosen not to support C++. This article describes the process for creating a basic application for interacting with eBay using SOAP in Visual C++. Step 1: Use gSOAP Download gSOAP from Sourceforge. History.
