1.1 Welcome

Thank you for using Rogue Wave® HydraExpress to develop your Web services.

This Web Service Development Guide describes how to develop Web services using HydraExpress. HydraExpress processes Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) files and includes a rich set of fundamental and networking components for developing Web services. These components provide tools for extending and creating services that can interoperate with services based on other popular technologies, including .NET, J2EE, WebLogic, and Axis.

These generated components hide the complexity of networking and automate the tedious coding involved in working with XML and SOAP.

HydraExpress includes:

• Tools to develop and deploy C++ Web services, discussed in this book.

• Tools to generate C++ classes for XML Schema language definitions, discussed in the HydraExpress XML Binding Development Guide

• Tools to develop C++ servlets, discussed in the HydraExpress Servlet Development Guide
