I like gSoap as well. I've played around with it to explore its use in other projects, but there is one thing to take note of. If you are going to use gSoap, then you are choosing not to have user-created XML templates. gSoap takes a WSDL and generates C code to handle the SOAP call described within. Thus adding other XML formats would require a recompile of the SOAP module. The other approach is to use it as a wrapper (transport manager) for generic XML documents created at runtime with XSLT, but you loose gSoap's strength of XML->C translation and type checking.
