Hi, I am implementing an application for the iPhone which needs a server to retrieve some information. When the server receives an http request, it runs an algorithm written in c++ (image matching) and then according to the answer of the algorithm, sends content in xml-form taken from a sql database. Currently, the server application is implemented with a php application which starts the algorithm as an external process. But this solution is not efficient at all, because the process has to be launched again at each client request.
Some people advice to me rather to develop a web service to efficiently extend the matching algorithm as a web service. However, the difficulties is to find a good toolkit which is performant enough but also simple since I don't need sophisticated communication between the client and the server (just send an image and receives an xml file). Axis c++ seem to be the solution of my problem, but is it not too complicated to use it in my case? In the case where it's a good choice, what I need to install to create my web service? Only apache with the axis c++ tool? Finally, I was wondering if C++ is a good choice to develop a web service, is it not more easy with java and just links my c++ code inside? I hope that someone can help me. Thanks a lot in advance for your answer, regards, Nicolas -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/I-a-the-axis-c%2B%2B-web-service-a-good-choice--tp25824746p25824746.html Sent from the Axis - C++ - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
