As Giovanni has told you I would recommend you gSoap. AFAIK is the most
used C/C++ web service library. I use it at work with a great level of
satisfaction.

http://gsoap2.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for the info. I realize that this would be easy in .NET. VC.NET will
make it even easier, but we currently don't have support from the network
guys to deploy .NET to 500+ PCs -- we still run Windows 2000 clients, and we
use Netware/Zen for Updates. It's not pretty, but we got to work with it.

I'll check out Axis and see it'll work for us. Thanks!

Eddie.

Thanks for the links, Giovanni. The WWSAPI looks good, but unfortunately our
clients are Windows 2000. gSOAP looks just like what I need, but I don't
much about the OS license. The software is for internal use of the
company... I don't know if that makes it commercial. I'll check with them
but definitely looks promising. Thanks!

Eddie.

Nice. I found it in VS2005, which is what we use. It seems to be based on
ATL Project, which I believe MS discontinued some time back (they even made
it open source, if I recall correctly).

The web service is written in Java, but returns XML. Hopefully this works
with Java WS. Thanks!

I must admit I don't know much about web services, but I can't find anything
on the site about how to do it with this API. Do you have a link you can
share?
