thank you your reply comfort me alot the problem i face now is building Bison which required to install the gsoap

is i need to build gsoap in my pc or there is dll or something like that i can use instead of


What for do you need to use Bison? You just need to run the command "wsdl2h" and "soapcpp2".

You can refer to documentation on the internet on how to use gSoap.like the following

http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soap.html

 

Even if then you have any problems integrating gSoap in your workflow you can send down a personal message to me.

You could use gSoap for calling your web service from the plugin code. The basic steps include generating the .h files from your WSD, which are then compiled to create the stubs for the methods exposed by the webservice.

 

A good informative link you can refer for this is:

Hope this solves your problem.

Hi,

Yes you can use it on Windows and even on a MAC, and also with CS3 SDK.
