Assignment 4: First SOAP access to COM object
Description: You will build a COM object and a MFC client to access that COM object. The access to that object will be using SOAP.
COM Server: Your COM object will use the spell checking program developed in the COM+ book with the following change. UseCustomDictionary not needed. Instead you will use the UNIX spell checker text file found here.
MFC Client: Adapt the simple text editor found in chapter 12 so that it will check the spelling of all words in the document. Any misspelled words will be changed to the color red (example of font colors in RichEditView can be found here). You should also have a way to change all the misspelled words back to "black" font.
Other Requirements:
If you need to use the class SOAP server. You can either send me your COM DLL and WSDL and WSML files with the URL set to "cyclops.cs.odu.edu/winsys/<your unix ID>" or you can FTP them yourselves from inside the CS domain (ftp cyclops.cs.odu.edu/put in winsys/<your unix ID>). You should test your COM object before exporting to SOAP - either write a small script to test or access directly from your MFC program that you will change later on (comment out the direct COM access). You will get credit for a working program using direct COM access instead of SOAP.
