In a normal client/server design, the client can execute functions implemented on the server-side. Is it possible to test a gSOAP server by connecting an extra client to it?

A:
I have not used gSOAP, but from reading the documentation it allows you to write both clients and servers so you can write an test client to test the service.
However if you are planning to offer the service to clients written in .net or java I would recommend that you write the test client in one of these. This way you will know for certain that it is possible to use the service from one of these clients. You might also find that .net or java clients are easier to write if you server is designed in a specific way, your test client will help you find this out.

I would like to use the same C++ clients that gsoap is generating. But I don't know if I can connect two clients to one server.

Again I have not used gSOAP but usually webservices can support multiple clients

Ensure you server is thread safe.
