[AG-TECH] Consuming webservice from Venue.py within C++

[Thomas D. Uram]

Hallo Michael:

We are using the SOAPpy python module from the pywebsvcs sourceforge
project, with Globus TCP underneath.  It would be difficult for you
to construct an interoperable Globus SOAP client environment in a
language other than python, at the moment.  Interoperability is one of
our big goals for the near future, when we will be using WSDL to
describe our interfaces.

At present, I'd suggest you use the AG toolkit to develop a web services
client to the toolkit components.  Each web service component we have is
described by an interface (for example, the Venue is exposed through a
venue interface VenueI), and has an associated interface wrapper (
VenueIW ).  You can construct a simple application that instantiates a
VenueIW and makes calls to a venue.

I hope this helps.

Tom
