Writing webservice in C/C++

Question

I'm starting to develop a client webservice in C/C++. I don't know which library to use. I've read about Axis2C and gSoap. Any suggestion for developing a C/C++ SOAP webservice client? It seems that Axis2C is being discontinued.

See the gSOAP tutoral for web service creation and consumption in C++.
It's pretty simple and easy to learn/use.

Note : See the sample code for calculator web service creation using gSOAP and the instructions to start the service and consume it by client HERE.

P.S. : Don't get bullied by seeing too many files. You have to write only {calc.cpp, calc.h and client.cpp}. Other files are generated by gSOAP utility soapcpp2.

Stay away from Axis2. Use gSOAP. If the web service is simple, you might also try wsdlpull as it's pretty lightweight.
