| |
| DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION |
| calc: Simple calculator client and server |
| ck: HTTP cookie client and server |
| components/c, components/cpp: Multiple clients/services in one executable |
| dime: DIME attachment client and server |
| events: Asynchronous one-way messaging |
| factory: Remote object factory and simple ORB |
| factorytest: Test client for remote object factory |
| googleapi: Google Web API client |
| listing: XMethod service listing client |
| localtime: Get localtime client |
| lu: Linear solver client and server |
| magic: Magic Squares client and server |
| mtom: MTOM attachment client and server |
| oneliners: Several one-liner clients and services |
| polytest: Polymorphic object exchange |
| quote: Get delayed stock quote |
| quote2: Get delayed stock quote (SOAP async messages) |
| quote3: Get delayed stock quote (with Stock class) |
| quote4: Get delayed stock quote (using XML DOM) |
| quotex: Combined client/server example in one |
| router: Router of HTTP messages over TCP/IP |
| rss: RSS 0.91, 0.92, and 2.0 server |
| ssl: HTTPS/SSL example (requires OpenSSL) |
| udp: SOAP-over-UDP example client and server |
| varparam: Variable polymorphic parameters client/server |
| webserver: Stand-alone Web server with a lot of features |
| xml-rpc: XML-RPC support |
| |
| To build the example services and clients, type "make" in the 'samples' |
| directory (Sun Solaris users should type "make -f MakefileSolaris"). See |
| also http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soapexamples.html |
| for details and explanations for some of these examples. |
| |
| For Windows users, the archive includes 'magic_VC' and 'quote_VC' Visual |
| Studio projects in the 'samples' directory. |
| |
| For Mac users, the archive includes a 'quote_MAC_ProjBuild' Project Builder |
| example in the 'samples' directory. |
| |
| To try the SSL-secure SOAP server, install OpenSSL and change the occurrences |
| of "linprog2.cs.fsu.edu" in sslclient.c and sslserver.c to the machine name |
| (or machine IP) you are using. Example .pem files are included but you need to |
| create your own .pem files (see OpenSSL documentation). |
| |
| The sslclient and sslserver codes can then be build as follows: |
| |
| soapcpp2 -c ssl.h |
| gcc -DWITH_OPENSSL -o sslclient sslclient.c stdsoap2.c soapC.c soapClient.c -lssl -lcrypto |
| gcc -DWITH_OPENSSL -o sslserver sslserver.c stdsoap2.c soapC.c soapServer.c -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread |
| |
| The 'gsoap_mod' directory includes Apache 1.x and 2.0 mods for gSOAP, IIS, and |
| WinInet support. WinInet allows gsoap to use the WinInet API instead of calls |
| to the socket API. The primary benefit of this arrangement is that "if IE |
| works, your program will work". There is no need to read proxy settings from |
| the registry, deal with proxy configuration scripts, etc. Changes in the |
| "Internet Options" dialog box will immediately take effect in your program. |
| Additionally, this will allow gsoap to handle forms of authentication not yet |
| supported natively, such as NTLM (Integrated Windows Authentication), etc. |
| |
| Contributions are included in the 'extras' directory: |
| |
| ckdb.h ckdb.c: |
| HTTP cookie database load and store operations for persistant cookie support. |
| Cookies are saved in XML format using gSOAP's serializers. |
| |
| ckdbtest.h ckdbtest.c: |
| Test client program for cookie database. |
| |
| soapdefs.h logging.cpp: |
| C++ message logging with streams. |
| |
| DISCLAIMER: WE TRY OUR BEST TO PROVIDE YOU WITH "REAL-WORLD" EXAMPLES BUT WE |
| CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ALL CLIENT EXAMPLES CAN CONNECT TO THIRD PARTY WEB |
| SERVICES WHEN THESE SERVICES ARE DOWN OR HAVE BEEN REMOVED. |
