Calling a web service from C++

Question

I have a simple web service running on a JBoss server. Now I need to access it from C++, Microsoft VC++ 2010, to be precise. Being new to web services in general, I googled my problem, but found that most people advised to to "Add Web Reference", something that appears to be gone since VS2008. So I was wondering if somebody could give me a few pointers on what the easiest way to call a web service from C++ would be.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Answer 1

you can try gSoap

Answer 2

I also recommend gSOAP. It can be a handful but it works. Point it at a WSDL and it'll generate proxies that you can use in your client code.

It's free if you are producing open source work as well.
