Calling a webservice

**steg90** · 23rd May 2007, 11:55

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,

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.
