Playing with gsoap!

If you are wondering what I am doing all the time, the answer is: I love gsoap. It is just great and as a result of that I release the first version of mysqlsoapserver. This little tool is a wrapper over the MySQL C API. Nothing spectacular as I do not yet see a great value for it.

*UPDATE*
I put this project to sourceforge now.

    Hi.

    Firstly I am a Newbie to C & Soap. I’m wondering if simillar wrapper can be done for Postgre or MaxDB. Also could pls write a tutorial on the MySQL gsoap wrapper.

    My Second question. Can gsoap be used an Application Server?. eg can a remote client connect to gsoap and get gsoap to execute an SQL querry? Also in the case of a remote client loging into gsoap, wouldn’t the username & password be send as plain text as from the little I know soap messages are in plain text. Sorry for asking such basic questions, but I’m a newbie

    Hi Hafeel,

    sure you can write any wrapper with gsoap. Well, but I don´t have enough time to write a tutorial about the MySQL Wrapper right now.
    You might use GSoap as an Application Server. It is a great piece of software. You can do nearly everything with it. There even exists the possibility to create ssl encrypted servers with gsoap.

    However, you need to read some tutorials if you want to write gsoap applications. You will find them on their homepage:
    http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html

    If you are new to soap then I would suggest starting with a more simple soap implementation like axis2 or the php soap implementation.

    Regards
    Manfred
