Answer 1

I've used wsdlpull http://wsdlpull.sourceforge.net/ and it worked. It is very simple, doesn't generate stubs for you and I'm not sure how it deals with complex data types, but if you need something simple it will do the job. It is LGPL so you can link closed-source code to it.

Answer 2

You can try WSF Staff.

Easy create web services and clients in C++.

Complex types like structures, typedefs, STL containers are supported. WSDL is supported.

Code can be generated by codegen or written manually.
