Getting started with UIQ 3 web services

Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) keeps adding tutorials to its Developer World site. The new “Getting started with Web Services with UIQ 3 and gSOAP” tutorial describes how to use the gSOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) package to enable Web services consumption on the UIQ 3 platform.

Unlike the Java ME Platform using JSR 172, the UIQ 3 platform offers no default stub generator. However, by using the popular open-source gSOAP package, it is possible to consume Web services in a similar manner to the Java ME Platform.

gSOAP 2.7.8c is a cross-platform development environment for C/C++ Web services and this new tutorial introduces the subject area, gives set up advice and then takes you through how to create a Google (NSDQ: GOOG) example application.
