[Gambas-devel] Component request: SOAP Web Services

[birchy]

As posted in 
http://www.nabble.com/Web-Services%3A-Working-with-WSDL-td20328779.html THIS 
gambas-user thread, i have an interest in using Gambas for my internet
related projects.  http://www.w3schools.com/soap/default.aspl SOAP  is a W3C
standard protocol that has become VERY common for interacting with web
information services, for example: Google, Amazon, Paypal, Ebay, Microsoft,
Betfair, etc, all offer SOAP based API.

Many programming languages such as   http://wiki.netbeans.org/SOAPNetBeans6
Java ,  http://www.codeproject.com/KB/XML/soap12inNet20.aspx .Net  and 
http://developer.apple.com/internet/webservices/soapphp.html PHP  offer
automatic code/class generation for SOAP Web Services, and i would like to
see this feature available in Gambas.

I have spent a lot of time researching various methods that would allow
Gambas to have Web Services and by far the simplest appears to be the open
source  http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html gSOAP  library which is
both multi platform AND included in most Linux repositories. In similar
fashion to the above named languages, this lib auto-generates both XML files
AND C/C++ code from a given 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Services_Description_Language WSDL  file. I
am not familiar with C/C++ code but i believe that this lib would be a
perfect base for a Gambas Web Services component??

Would anyone else be interested in this component?
