Qt Solutions Component: SOAP

The Qt SOAP project provides basic web service support with version 1.1 of the SOAP protocol.

Notes:

This is a partial implementation of SOAP v1.1.

• Server side SOAP is not supported. - References to values (id & href attributes) are not supported. - Only arrays with less than 5 dimensions are supported. - Namespaces for types are not checked. Only the type names are used. - The encodingStyle attribute is ignored. The serialization and encoding rules from section 5 in the SOAP v1.1 specification are assumed regardless of the value of the encodingStyle attribute. - QtSoapType does not have accessors for attributes, which means for example that actor, mustUnderstand and so on are not accessible in headers. - The SOAP root attribute is not supported.

Version history:

1.1: - Have setContent() always skip first entry if it's not an element

1.2: - QtSoapArray::count() returns correct count

1.3: - Documentation fixes

2.0: - Version 1.3 ported to Qt 4.

2.1: - Fix memory leak, and fix for Qt 4.1.

2.2: - Bugfix, and fix for Qt 4.2.

2.3: - Handle (but don't preserve) comments in structs/arrays - Fix memory leak for QtSoapArray - Allow Array types to not have the "type" attribute set, as per the Soap 1.1 spec - Handle fault code of type (in addition to type String)

2.4: - Fix: Use UTF8 encoding, as the standard recommends, instead of Latin1. Indicate the charset in the header. - Fix: Allow header items to be added before body items, so the output will have the correct order (header before body), as per the standard. - Fix: Possible memory leak when copying QtSoapStructs and -Arrays.

2.5: - Fixes: Error handling. responseReady signal would sometimes not be emitted in error situations. Now, always emitted, and the error is recorded in the response. - Fixes: node parsing bug. - Fixes: arrayiterator bug, and wrong indices in array example code in doc. - Fixes: copying structs and arrays. - Added: support operator[] for structs. - Allow the transport to be set to https mode.

2.6: - Misc. minor fixes. - LGPL release.

2.7: - Auto-generation in SoapNamespaces has never worked as intended, dropped. - The HttpTransport class is now based on QNetworkManager et al. instead of QHttp. This entails some minor API changes to that class.
