The WebServer library contains a collection of classes to be used for creating client and server 'web service' applications.
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.
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).
The index below lists the major components of the WebServices documentation.
