omewhere north of a million. That, last time you counted, is the number of lines of C and C++ code keeping your organization running. And that is the number that runs through your head as you examine the literature surrounding Web services. The reason, of course, is that the bulk of information available on the subject is focused on developing Web services with Java, C#, Visual Basic, and other languages which, frankly, doesn't do you much good at all. Web services promises to make it easy to integrate C++ legacy systems with pretty much anything else, except for one catch: theres precious few products that support creating and deploying C++ Web services. This article provides an answer to this problem.
This article demonstrates how to write a SOAP client in C++. The client will exercise Google's SOAP-enabled search API, a service that accepts and answers search queries.
