gSoap compilation with c++

I'm trying to get a simple example working using gSoap, for VS2008.

I've done the following:

wsdl2h -o Init.h http://myservices/InitalisationService.asmx?WSDL

And then this:

soapcpp2 -I "C:\3pSDK\gsoap-2.7\gsoap\import" -i -C -limport Init.h

which produces many files. My project folder looks like this:

// generated files
Init.h
InitalisationServiceSoap.initalizePlayer.req.xml
InitalisationServiceSoap.initalizePlayer.res.xml
InitalisationServiceSoap.nsmap
InitalisationServiceSoap12.initalizePlayer.req.xml
InitalisationServiceSoap12.initalizePlayer.res.xml
InitalisationServiceSoap12.nsmap
ortC.cpp
ortH.h
ortInitalisationServiceSoap12Proxy.cpp
ortInitalisationServiceSoap12Proxy.h
ortInitalisationServiceSoapProxy.cpp
ortInitalisationServiceSoapProxy.h
ortMatlab.c
ortMatlab.h
ortStub.h

// Project Files
ReadMe.txt
stdafx.cpp
stdafx.h
WebServicesClient.cpp
WebServicesClient.vcproj
targetver.h

// files added to the project from gSoap folder
stdsoap2.cpp
stdsoap2.h
typemap.dat

When I build, I get a lot of linker errors (unresolved externals). I can't find anything to link against (e.g. no binary libraries) - what am I missing?

I believe that this may have something to do with the following from the docs:

To complete the build, compile and link the generated soapC.cpp, soapcalcProxy.cpp, and the run-time gSOAP engine -lgsoap++ (or use source stdsoap2.cpp in case libgsoap++.a is not installed) with your code.

is there a gsoap++ library for win32?

Okay, for those frustrated with the docs on the gSoap site, using VS2008 to compile a quick client only example, here's the steps (servers are different).

Generate the header file from the WSDL: wsdl2h -o Init.h http://bleh.com/myservice.asmx?WSDL

Generate the soap client files:

soapcpp2 -C -IC:\3pSDK\gsoap-2.7\gsoap\import Init.h

Ensure you add the following files to your solution for build: 

soapC.cpp, soapClient.cpp, and stdsoap2.cpp

Ensure that, for each of these files, you select the compiler option "Not using Pre-Compiled headers". (file Properties -> C++ -> Precompiled Headers -> Create/Use Precompiled header).

Finally, add the .nsmap file generated for your proxy to the stdafx.h (or in your main if your project isn't using pre-compiled headers).

Here's a sample that makes a simple query:

// WebServicesClient.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "init/soapInitServiceSoapProxy.h"

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
std::string user = "AAAA";
std::string pass = "BBBB";

InitServiceSoap             service;    

_ns1__initPlayer            query;
_ns1__initPlayerResponse    ans;

query.psParam1 = &user;
query.psParam2 = &pass; 

if( service.__ns2__initPlayer(&query, &ans) == SOAP_OK )
{
    cout << "success!" << endl;     
}

cin.get();

return 0;
}

hope this helps someone!

Just one comment: namespace should be added into stdafx.cpp (not .h)! – Bougie
do you mean to include the .nsmap file in the stdafx.cpp? I tried that and it doesn't work – Disproportionate
