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

[Scott Aron Bloom]

One of the things that the Qxt guys (+me) talked about was this..

Creating a SOAP class that you would register in QObjects.  It would
then generated a WSDL based on the Q_PROPERTYs in the class.. 
You could also, create SOAP on the fly for an object, as well as parse
SOAP and create the objects

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"?
