Hi, All! I just joined this group and haven't had any time, yet, to look through the thousands of posts for a solution to my woes. So, I'm going to explain what I'm trying to do in the hopes that someone will be able to steer me in the right direction. Also, please forgive me if I'm not using the correct terminology. I'm rather new to SOAP.
My customer has written a web service in J2EE and Web Sphere. It uses (obviously) SOAP to send/receive messages and data. I develop applications on Windows Mobile devices (specifically, Pocket PC 2003/WinCE.NET 4.2). I need to be able to consume the web service using SOAP messages. After looking around a bit and finding PocketSOAP and gSOAP, I'm tending toward gSOAP because it creates the proxy classes I can use to easily get the data from the web service responses. I first started with the basic, non-secure SOAP sample connecting to their web service using Visual C++ 6.0. I was able to communicate, but I got a "wsse" message saying that I need to have an authentication header. I tried to find information in the "manual" on OpenSSL and headers, and how to get everything to work. It's been a nightmare to say the least. I can't seem to find any answers. I've read numerous testimonials saying gSOAP is easy to use and has great documentation. I've not seen it, yet. Then, I tried from scratch again using eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 without OpenSSL. Now, I get compile errors saying things like "soap_indateTime" does not exist. This is because WITH_LEANER and WITH_LEAN are defined. I cannot find where WITH_LEANER is being defined. I think that what I'm trying to do is fairly basic. So, why can't I find clear answers, instructions, or descriptions for how to do it? The manual only gives me half the solution. The Internet gives me the other half. But, when I put them together, they don't work. Does anyone have some kind of a guide or experience or information that will tell me what I'm doing wrong and/or how to do what I want to do? I'm about the pull my hair out over this. Thanks a million! Kevin
