Hi,

I am planing to use SOAP protocol in my future aplication, so i thinking of using gSOAP on Symbian and NuSOAP for PHP server.
  First i downloaded gSOAP and compiled it for Symbian , everything in gSOAP source files are static , and example that come with it is EXE console application, is it posibble to port gSOAP in to classes to use it in APP UI application , those anyone try to do that. The sources are to big and complex i am afraid that this is to big job for me.
  Second thing i am not that familiar with this protocol, is it naccesery that server have to be runing on gSOAP (server) , or it is ok to use diferent SOAP engine , like PHP NuSOAP.

Tnx.

It is not necessary to use gSOAP on server. You can use any SOAP engine on server side.

BTW this article about SOAP may be interesting for you:

Is it posible to use this Google SOAP API for some other SOAP services, for example my own. Or it`s creating only Google sutable SOAP requests?

The GoogleIT application is great and SyExpat is very easy to use though, I must admit the GoogleIT application isn't that easy to read through especially if your new to the Symbain world.

Ummm ... no.

It looks like you really need to brush up on what SOAP is and what you can do with it.

http://www.w3schools.com/soap/default.asp

Bascially, if you want to use SOAP for data transfer of records between the phone and server then use SyExpat. But if you just want a simple query/response then flag SyExpat and have look at the HTTP example in the SDK and just use basic GET/POST.

Something like REST (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST), which is a lot easy to deal with, might also appeal to you.

On the server-side if you have access to Visual Studio you'll find it incredibly easy to build a web service based on the SOAP protocol. The same can also be said if you are familiar with Ruby on Rails. What this means is that you can concentrate on the phone application rather than server-side stuff.

I know exactly what it is,and what i can do with it , i just need tool to do it. Like i sad , gSOAP seams that it`s not quite good ported to Symbian. So i am looking for some other SOAP client API that can work on symbian. But it seams that gSOAP is the only one.

gSoap have static function but no static members , so it compile and work ok in Symbain APP.  And it`s working great.

Hi

I am trying to use gSOAP library for an application based on series 60 3rd edition MR SDK.  I tried with the platform independent as well as the Win32 versions of gSOAP 2.7.9f release.

I am running into issues of compiler inconsistencies. If I comment out those function calls, I run into linker inconsistencies

Please let me know how u got gSOAP to work for symbian



Thanks
