Re: [Cppcms-users] CppCMS handle SOAP or RESTful like Web Services?

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

... since i asked something that RTFM could have solved, i wrote the 
RESTful WS example (attached). i hope that's what everybody has in mind. 
i am open to learning.

a couple of things i have yet to figure out:

if (request().request_method() != "GET") ...

if (request().content_type() == "application/xml") ...

gave me errors at compilation time:

g++  -I include -c -O2 -Wall -g src/base_rest_ws.cpp -o obj/base_rest_ws.o
src/base_rest_ws.cpp: In member function ‘bool 
base_rest_ws::is_request_method_get()’:
src/base_rest_ws.cpp:39:15: error: invalid use of incomplete type 
‘struct cppcms::http::request’
/usr/local/include/cppcms/application.h:41:9: error: forward declaration 
of ‘struct cppcms::http::request’

g++  -I include -c -O2 -Wall -g src/users.cpp -o obj/users.o
src/users.cpp: In member function ‘void users::count()’:
src/users.cpp:78:38: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct 
cppcms::http::request’
/usr/local/include/cppcms/application.h:41:9: error: forward declaration 
of ‘struct cppcms::http::request’

maybe somebody can set me straight on those.

cheers!
