SOAP/XML services use data bindings that are contractually bound by WSDLs and are auto-generated by wsdl2h and soapcpp2 (see Service Bindings). Plain data bindings are adopted from XML schemas as part of the WSDL types section or when running wsdl2h on a set of schemas to produce non-SOAP-based XML data bindings.

Note

The following readers and writers are C/C++ data type (de)serializers auto-generated by wsdl2h and soapcpp2. Run soapcpp2 on this file to generate the (de)serialization code, which is stored in soapC.c[pp]. Include "soapH.h" in your code to import these data type and function declarations. Only use the soapcpp2-generated files in your project build. Do not include the wsdl2h- generated .h file in your code.

Data can be read and deserialized from:

• an int file descriptor, using soap->recvfd = fd
• a socket, using soap->socket = (int)...
• a C++ stream (istream, stringstream), using soap->is = (istream*)...
• a C string, using soap->is = (const char*)...
• any input, using the soap->frecv() callback

Data can be serialized and written to:

• an int file descriptor, using soap->sendfd = (int)...
• a socket, using soap->socket = (int)...
• a C++ stream (ostream, stringstream), using soap->os = (ostream*)...
• a C string, using soap->os = (const char**)...
• any output, using the soap->fsend() callback

The following options are available for (de)serialization control:

• soap->encodingStyle = NULL; to remove SOAP 1.1/1.2 encodingStyle
• soap_set_mode(soap, SOAP_XML_TREE); XML without id-ref (no cycles!)
• soap_set_mode(soap, SOAP_XML_GRAPH); XML with id-ref (including cycles)
• soap_set_namespaces(soap, struct Namespace *nsmap); to set xmlns bindings
