Wizard for Web services

The Nokia WSDL-to-C++ Wizard for the S60 platform is a tool that helps developers create C++ proxy code for accessing Web services. The wizard generates the proxy code from the definition in a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. The generated proxy code uses simple device-resident method calls to provide access to a Web service provider from a Symbian application. This approach shortens development time by significantly reducing the effort needed to implement a Web services client application.
