That might be worth reconsidering as a guideline decision, because there are some indications that C++ is being increasingly used as a server-side language. Anecdotally, I've seen some such projects, and in one of them there was a need to write a SOAP server and KDSoap was a fairly obvious candidate to choose for it. That particular shop was a heavy user of Qt on the client side, so having Qt-related parts on the server side was no downside for them. I have also seen all sorts of migrations where non-UI code that deals with business logic and databases gets moved to a server, and in a bunch of such cases users didn't think twice about having Qt as a tool for server-side programs. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
