Yes, sure we will post it to this group once our tests with
interoperability are done. XSOAP-Java and XSOAP-C++ were interoperable to
start with but adding features to both the systems may have resulted in
minor incompatibilities.

The XSOAP-C++ code uses Pthreads, sockets and templates. To port to
Windows, the threads and socket stuff needs to be replaced with windows
specific libraries. I am not too familiar with the extent of support for
templates in C++, so some changes to the templated code might be
necessary.
