How can a Qt ONVIF application be created?

I want to create an application to control camera parameters (users/ptz/get video). The camera is using the ONVIF protocol.

I am using Qt framework 5.13.

I found gsoap tool and .wsdl files from onfiv.com. Then i use guide from https://www.genivia.com/examples/onvif/index.html to create .h/.cpp files from devicemanagement.wsdl. I have generated one proxy class from devicemanagement.wsdl, and the program on Qt with generated files is working, but I need user authorization and ptz control...

How can I use gsoap, onvif specifications files(.wsdl) to generate class, which user authorization and ptz control for Qt?

Maybe someone makes the same application on Qt and can help me.

Run wsdl2h on the ptz.wsdl:

wsdl2h -O4 -P -x -o onvif.h http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver20/ptz/wsdl/ptz.wsdl

This assumes you have the typemap.dat file in the current directory with the ONVIF namespace bindings, see the ONVIF example to get that file.

Option -O4 aggressively "slices" the WSDL to reduce code size only to the necessary components, see article Schema Slicing Methods to Reduce Development Costs of WSDL-Based Web Services.

To generate C++ proxy classes:

soapcpp2 -C -j -2 -I gsoap/import onvif.h

The -C option specifies client-only, -j specifies proxy classes, -2 specifies SOAP 1.2 enforcement, -I is to import the necessary files.

If you need WS-Security authentication, then add the line:

#import "wsse.h"

to the onvif.h file if not already there, then rerun soapcpp2.

Compile:

c++ -O2 -I. -Igsoap/custom -o app soapPTZBindingProxy.cpp soapC.cpp dom.cpp stdsoap2.cpp wsseapi.c

Some source code files are generated, others are part of the gSOAP libraries.

The code generation tools have lots of options, so it depends a bit on what you want to accomplish.

If you want to use QT strings and types, then this can be done too with a modification of the typemap.dat file and by using the custom serializers located in gsoap/custom. For example, custom/qstring.h tells you to:

        To automate the wsdl2h-mapping of xsd:string to
        QString, add this line to the typemap.dat file:

        xsd__string = #import "custom/qstring.h" | xsd__string

Then rerun wsdl2h to get the QT string binding. Compile custom/qtstring.cpp with your project.
