Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

If I remember correctly, you need to link against a libgsoap.lib (or similar). To find it, search for libs in your gSOAP installation folder.

Edit: It should be in the same directory (or close) as the stdsoap.h / stdsoap.cpp files.

great stuff, thanks. I did hunt for such a lib, but I couldn't find one. I'll try to download another distribution. The distribution I got has a bin folder for win32, but no libs.

there's definitely no .lib to link to.

Answer 2

A:

Okay, for those frustrated with the docs on the gSoap site, using VS2008 to compile a quick client only example, here's the steps (servers are different).

Generate the header file from the WSDL: wsdl2h -o Init.h http://bleh.com/myservice.asmx?WSDL

Generate the soap client files:

soapcpp2 -C -IC:\3pSDK\gsoap-2.7\gsoap\import Init.h

Ensure you add the following files to your solution for build:

soapC.cpp, soapClient.cpp, and stdsoap2.cpp

Ensure that, for each of these files, you select the compiler option "Not using Pre-Compiled headers". (file Properties -> C++ -> Precompiled Headers -> Create/Use Precompiled header).

Finally, add the .nsmap file generated for your proxy to the stdafx.h (or in your main if your project isn't using pre-compiled headers).

Here's a sample that makes a simple query:

// WebServicesClient.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "init/soapInitServiceSoapProxy.h"

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
std::string user = "AAAA";
std::string pass = "BBBB";

InitServiceSoap             service;    

_ns1__initPlayer            query;
_ns1__initPlayerResponse    ans;

query.psParam1 = &user;
query.psParam2 = &pass; 

if( service.__ns2__initPlayer(&query, &ans) == SOAP_OK )
{
    cout << "success!" << endl;     
}

cin.get();

return 0;
}

hope this helps someone!
