Simple Object
Access Protocol Http gsoap
bindings
for Microsoft(TM)
Internet Information Server
and Apache Server
The Simple Access Object Protocol is an open
standard to access remote services over the internet using an open XML
protocoll called SOAP. This
contribution is Open Source Code for Open Standards. Everyting is supplied
in source code and ready for download.
Depending on the operating system you want (or must) use
there are 2 implementations, using a common source code base, but of course
different Makefiles and installation procedures. The SOAP implementation is used
from
gsoap.
Among other advantages mod_gsoap as well as your own gsoap servers will run in process inside IIS or Apache and so no performance penalties for spawning external processes (as for cgi) exist, as well as the very sophisticated multi - client and performance optimizations inside IIS and Apache can be used. No code changes required for gsoap servers. The existing standalone applications only need to be recompiled as a Win32 .dll/shared library (.so) and copied to the apropriate directory.
For details read on in the IIS version
for Windows or at the Linux/Unix version for Apache Server
With this extension you can deploy SOAP servers on Microsoft(TM) Internet Information Server as an ISAPI extension using gsoap. Everything is supplied in source code. No COM is required, but possible.
This module enables Apache Server to run the gsoap SOAP services as a module for Apache Server.
Any contributions, escpecially C++ programming and testing is welcome.
