Hi,
I'm starting doing some Symbian stuff for service I run, I want to be able to connect to the web service through the phone, does anyone have any suggestions? I am aiming to develop initially for the 7650 in C++ (or Java if it's more suitable). The web service is all up and running, it just needs the Symbian client...
I would appreciate any advice on what to do as regarding getting started with consuming web services with Symbian, any tutorials, any libraries that look good (I have found a few through the web, but experienced opinions required!).
Save me before I turn to Pocket PC!
thanks, 😊
Colin

As far as I know, there's not a lot out there for web services on the Symbian platform at this time.
I'd say the first thing you'd need is a knowledge of XML, then expand that to include SOAP and WSDL
Your main protocol for communication is HTTP so there shouldn't be too much problem in theory - you're probably going to have to write your own XML parser though (which is quicker said than done)- once that's done it shouldn't be too hard to get the Symbian device talking

I agree with you there. I've been working on one so that I can get the SyncML information from the 9210 and it is taking much longer that I first thought it would.
