Hi,

Has anybody called a webservice up from Qt? I've normally done this in the .NET environment which makes it very easy to do, also do this using java using AXIS.

Steve

You don't know what .NET is? Well, it isn't cross-platform.

I just want to call a webserver, usually over SOAP.

I don't know much about such netowork protocols, but if SOAP is "riding" on HTTP, then you should look up the QHttp class and co.
Ofcrouse, in general you will have to use the QTcpSocket for the connection it self.

There are two entries in our contest related to XML-RPC. Maybe you should contact their authors and use their solutions instead of reinventing the wheel.

Hi,

I don't want to re-invent the wheel, are the entries not doing that? XML-RPC been around for a very, very long time. I just wanted to know if QT supported any classes that made calling a webservice easier.

Kind regards,
Steve

They are introducing XML-RPC support for Qt.

Hi,

you might also want to take a look at this:

FEAST can also be used in a pure client role. The advantage over Qt SOAP is that is supports generating the client (and server) code based on the WSDL description (that you should get from the SOAP server). That way you don't have to worry about the details of the SOAP implementation. You will get a normal function that you can call from your client.
The generation of the SOAP envelope, serialization, de-serialization and mapping of Qt types to and from SOAP types are handled by FEAST.
