<heading>What are the WebServices classes?</heading>
<p>
The WebServer library contains a collection of classes to be used
for creating client and server 'web service' applications.
</p>
<p>
The GWSService class is used to make RPCs as a client.
This class makes use of GWSCoder classes to serialize
the request before sending it to the remote system,
and to deserialize the response received.<br />
Different GWSCoder sublasses handle different encoding mechanisms,
and this library provides one for XMLRPC (because it's a nice,
simple mechanism good for most normal applicatiions), and one for
SOAP (because, while it's a horrible, bloated, designed-by-comittee
mechanism, it's also the most common one by far and the standard
one for web services).<br />
The GWSCoder base class provides support for decoding an
XML document to a tree of GWSElement objects, and encoding a
tree of GWSElement objects to form an XML document.<br />
The GWSElement class represents an element in an XML document
and provides a concise set of methods for locating and
manipulating the elements within a tree representing the
entire document.<br />
The remaining classes in the library provide support for WSDL,
allowing a WSDL document to be parsed, and SOAP calls to be
made to a service described in the WSDL, with binding
information from the WSDL used to build the calls from a minimal
set of parameters.
