So I am looking at this QWebElement/Frame and for my uses, it comes up a bit
short.
I want an enhanced QDomDocument that can take a XPath query as a parameter to
findAll() (Which doesn't exist in QDomDocument) And also, the results of
QDomNodeList should be convertible to QList<QDomNode> for iteration. The reason
why you use QDomNodeList isn't clear, it makes working with QDomNodes a pain, I
convert everything to QList<QDomNode> anyway, and my only use of QDomNodeList
is to make it a QList<QDomNode>!
Then QWebElement has QList<QWebElement> findAll() but no way to make a
QWebElement from a list of QWebElements! This would allow you to select a set
of elements, then sub-select additional elements. You'd currently have to:
QList<QWebElement> subselectedWEs;
foreach (QWebElement we, selectedWEs)
{
subSelectedWEs << we.findAll(subselection);
}
It would be better to
QList<QWebElement> subselectedWEs =
root.findAll(selection).findAll(subselection);
or
QList<QWebElement> selected = root.findAll(selection)
QList<QWebElement> subselectedWEs = selected.findAll(subselection);
Another question is does this assume a GUI is needed for QWeb*? I can't have a
GUI. I can't interact with a desktop! Why does QWebElement recreate so much
functionality of QDomDocument, without inheriting from it? Can't we push these
features into QDomDocument? (Which doesn't need a GUI!)
I do all of this so I can make a SOAP service. And there are more SOAP services
scheduled, so this is a big deal for me. I've currently cobbled together a
crude XPath parser.
Ideally what I really need is a QObject which works through QMeta* to provide a
local object that allows me to interact with the SOAP service as if it were
just another QObject (signals/slots, service discovery). I noticed that QtSoap
was recently updated, but it stays stuck at version 1.1. I need 2.0. Minimally,
1.2.
Any information is appreciated!
Thanks!

FYI: Missing category for type of app. I use Qt for server-side services, i.e.
HTTP-SOAP and the like.
While this is not a focus of Qt, the Qt library makes writing these apps
easier. Even though there is no real SOAP support (your soap client add-in is
not soap 2.0 compliant) Qt could really use a AJAX or JSON client/server. The
recent Qt in the Cloud labs article shows that Qt needs to be able Web-2.0
enabled.
I do like that "DOM access API" was added. But I need to know where to find
those docs! (Specifically what is added for 4.6)
Thanks!

Subject: [Qt4-preview-feedback] Invitation to join the Qt 4.6 Beta Program
Hi!
We are preparing the release of the Qt 4.6 Beta, and during the Beta phase
of Qt 4.6 we would like to ask the community of Qt users for feedback
regarding the stability, performance and overall quality of our designs,
APIs and implementations.
In addition to asking for feedback through the regular channels we would
like to make sure that as many Qt users as possible have performed a few
specific tasks during the Beta phase to help us understand the most
important issues that we need to address before the launch of Qt 4.6 later
this year. We would like to invite you to sign up to the Qt 4.6 Beta
Program by completing this very short sign-up form - it should only take a
few minutes:
http://survey.confirmit.com/wix1/p995540662.aspx
If you sign up to the Qt 4.6 Beta Program, then we will during the next
month ask you to complete two surveys that ask for your impression of the
quality of Qt 4.6. Those surveys will not take very long to complete, but
you should of course be able to set some time aside to test the Qt 4.6
Beta release. This release is expected to become available within the
first weeks of October, and will be announced on the usual mailinglists.
It is of course not necessary to sign up to the Beta program in order to
get access to the Qt 4.6 Beta packages, and our regular feedback channel
will continue to be open for everybody:
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt4-preview-feedback/
However, through the Beta Program we hope to understand better how much Qt
4.6 has been tried and tested.
We hope you will enjoy experimenting with the Qt 4.6 pre-releases and are
looking forward to your feedback!

On behalf of the Qt Team,
Volker Hilsheimer
