Web services via native C++

[Christopher Brack]

Hi

I am trying to invoke a web service from a native (i.e. unmanaged) MFC app.
I was able to invoke a trivial web service from unmanaged C++ using ATL but
I still have difficulties.

The problem now is that the nontrivial WSDL file describing the web service
I am to implement has a schema with widespread use of "extension"s of
complexTypes (akin to inheritance). While wsdl.exe can generate proxy classes
for these schema sproxy.exe does not support it and the attempt to add a web
reference to such a web service fails. Sproxy.exe also emits several warnings
about attributes not be being supported.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how a web service can be invoked from a
native (non-COM) C++/MFC app if sproxy can't create a proxy class from the
WSDL file? Is there an alternative to SPROXY.EXE or I am going about this the
wrong way?
