Urgent: C++ Webservice call

[abhi2807]

Hi Guys
I have a small piece of C++ code which is used as a plugin in my product. I just need to compile this piece of code and put the .so file in my main product's lib for the plugin to work properly.

My problem is that now I want to make a Rest webservice call from this C++ plugin file. I cannot add a webservice reference by using Visual studio as its not a project.

Can anyone suggest some way to implement this requirement in the best possible way. Please respond.

Thanks for your help.

What's stopping you from making a new project and adding the files? Do you not have all of the source code or something?

Thanks for your reply. Shall I use CDT for Eclipse for C++ development or do we have a better IDE (free).

How about starting to integrate the webservices with my c++ code.

Sorry to ask these basic questions. I am a java developer moved into C++.

The IDE is up to you, just don't use Bloodshed Dev-C++, wxDev-C++ is ok.

"Integration" as you put it is just a matter of using the functions and datatypes defined in the other file. I don't actually know what Webservice is and Google gives me thousands of ad firms and such. Do you have a link?

You said in first post you want to compile the code as ".so" file (shared object file, used in *nix world) and then something about Visual Studio, a windows only IDE. I personally do not understand ....

I'm sorry for the confusion. Previously the .so file was deployed on Linux and currently I am debugging the code on windows and trying to enhance the functionality. Once it works on windows, I will port it to Linux.

Hope it clears up the confusion now.
