xmlFUSE is designed to build web service clients - if you are trying to write a hosted Webservice then you can use a variety of tools like Visual Studio, Clarion#, etc. with a server component like IIS to host the service. I'm not sure if or how Nettalk can be used to build a web service provider, but xmlFUSE can surely be used to talk to any web service whether it is written using a Clarion server component or something more mainstream such as a web service running under IIS.

Please let me know if you have additional questions

you say: "xmlFUSE is designed to build web service clients"
Does it build the com classes like easy2com
Does it handle passing and returning "safearrays"

I have a project where I have to connect to a webservices sending requests and receiving some values using methods.

The process was to expose the classes and methods using visual studio to create a dll and tlb file. then using oleviewer to create a IDL and then creating the classes using easy2com. I experienced a lot of trouble passing safearray types.

Is this a faster way of dealing with webservices?

xmlFUSE can talk to COM objects and handle safearrays - that's not a problem. It doesn't generate the COM wrapper classes for you, but it will parse the WSDL file of a web service and assist with the data types.

There's also lots of examples of interfacing with the web service manually (i.e. build the request using XML, use HTTP to post the request to the service, process the response). I will send you an email and maybe you could show me the dll and tlb file you are using.

Thanks
