POGeneric WebService (SOAP) client library for C++
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm looking for a simple C++ WebService Client Library that can be easily linked into my application.</p> <p>Preferably this library:</p> <ul> <li>can be used to access any SOAP WebService (so I can pass the URL, the WebService name, the WebService method and all the arguments as arguments to a function call)</li> <li>can be linked statically in a C++ application (so no DLL's)</li> <li>is freeware or available at a low cost</li> <li>can be used royalty-free in my application</li> <li>can query the Web service for its WSDL and return me the available method names, arguments of the methods and their data types</li> </ul> <p>Before anyone of you answers .NET: been there, tried it. My major objections against .NET are:</p> <ul> <li>you can generate the proxy but it's impossible to change the WebService name in the generated proxy code afterwards, since .NET uses reflection to check the WebService name (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3456362/dynamically-call-soap-service-from-own-scripting-language">Dynamically call SOAP service from own scripting language</a> for my question regarding that problem)</li> <li>generating the proxy class on the fly doesn't always seem to work correctly</li> </ul> <p>I already used Google to look up this information, but I couldn't find one.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> To clarify this further, I really want something where I can write code like this (or something in this style):</p> <pre><code>SoapClient mySoapClient; mySoapClient.setURL("http://someserver/somewebservice"); mySoapClient.setMethod("DoSomething"); mySoapClient.setParameter(1,"Hello"); mySoapClient.setParameter(2,12345); mySoapClient.sendRequest(); string result; mySoapClient.getResult(result); </code></pre> <p>No dynamic code generation.</p>
