ProLinga

A very basic example program using the Soap Library, so it can run as a Web Service looks like this:

#include <prolinga/Soap.hpp>

int main()
{
        PlSoapService sservice;
                                                                                                                                             
        /* Start as a web service. */
        sservice.soapServiceStart("localhost", 8020, 3, 6, "/tmp/mySoap.log", 5);
                                                                                                                                             
        /* Return */
        return 0;
}

void PlSoapLink(PlSoapProcessPtr link)
{
        /* Every received request will access this function. */

                                                                                                                                             
        /* Get Request */
        xmlDocPtr docReq;
        docReq = link->getRequest();
                                                                                                                                             
        /* Print on standard out */
        xmlNodePtr curReq;
        xmlBufferPtr bufReq;
        bufReq = xmlBufferCreate();
        curReq = xmlDocGetRootElement(docReq);
        xmlNodeDump(bufReq, docReq, curReq, 0, 1);
        printf("%s\n", (char *)xmlBufferContent(bufReq));
        xmlBufferFree(bufReq);
                                                                                                                                             
        /* Create a response */
        xmlDocPtr docRes;
        xmlNodePtr curRes;
        docRes = xmlNewDoc((const xmlChar *)"1.0");
        docRes->children = xmlNewDocNode(docRes, NULL, (const xmlChar *)"ProLinga", NULL);
        curRes = xmlDocGetRootElement(docRes);
        xmlNewTextChild (curRes, NULL, (const xmlChar *)"String", (const xmlChar *)"Your request has been served.");
                                                                                                                                             
        /* Send back Response */
        link->putResponse(docRes);
}

When running this application, function soapServiceStart is called and starts an indefinite loop listening for requests to arrive at TCP port 8020. As soon as a request arrives, function PlSoapLink is called with as argument a pointer to the class PlSoapProcess which holds the request the request in libxml2 format. In this example the request is printed on the console where the services has been started and a simple XML document is sent back by assigning this to the class PlSoapProcess.

To compile the program, use the following command:

g++ soap_s_test.cpp -o soap_s_test `pkg-config --cflags --libs prolinga-soap`

You can also use a more traditional command as:

g++ soap_s_test.cpp -o soap_s_test -I/usr/local/include/ -L/usr/local/lib -lprolingasoap -lxml2 -lpthread -lz
