web services in C++

["Allen, Michael E." <Mi...@ACNielsen.com>]

Not exactly on the topic, but I think this group must have dealt with this
issue.  What is the best way to incorporate web services written in C++?  I
have used gSoap, but I am would like something that integrates with Axis.  I
believe I am right in assuming that Axis can only directly make calls on
Java classes (is that right?).  I suppose I could right Java wrappers for my
C++ classes (are there any tools to automate that?), but I'd like to know if
there is a cleaner/more-apache like way to do things.
 
Btw, my need for C++ is motivated both by some performance concerns and even
more by needing to use legacy systems.
 
Thanks,
Michael

RE: documentationMichael,

You're right -- Axis can only invoke methods on Java classes, so to use Axis, you'll need to create Java wrappers. You'll take a hit in performance if you do this.

There are three SOAP systems for portable C++:
- gSOAP
- Systinet WASP
- Rogue Wave LEIF

All of them support significantly better performance than Axis (or any other Java implementation).
