[Qt-interest] What is likely to be in Qt 4.8?

[Jason H]

Well, more and more services are using SOAP. Client-wise, Qt cannot currently 
digest a WSDL file and create a QObject proxy (statically, or on the fly) and 
talk to web services. If you want to use web services as a client, then you have 
to wade into QDom/QXmlPatterns land and hand code yourself a solution. 


As a server, again you must use QDom/QXmlPatterns on your own. But you should be 
able to expose a QObject derived class and have Qt generate the WSDL file, as 
well a provide a trivial http server which exposes those classes (services). 
(Possibly also using zero-config)

Then use QObject::connect() to connect the client and server.

The problem with the existing solution is that it does not support SOAP 1.2 
(which is the defacto standard) or attachments. It is stuck at 1.1, client only, 
and no attachments.

What is the concern with this? Is the Solution considered "enough for those 
who really want it"?
