web service proxy under XPCOM

Hi,

I tried the web service written in JavaScript, it worked perfectly.
However, I cannot find any documentation to using this proxy model under
my XPCOM. Is it true that the proxy in current state can only work via
XPConnect?
Thanks.

As XPConnect simply exposes XPCOM components to JavaScript I think it
should be possible to use those components from C++ as well. Are you not
able to use the stuff documented here
<http://xulplanet.com/references/xpc...ebServices.html>
from C++?

I think the same way but I can't find concrete example for doing that.
If I got the proxy (nsIWebServiceProxy) from the web service, if I
simple do (instanceof nsIWebServiceProxy)->myWebServiceOperation, it
can't simply pass the compile phase because there is no such method
defined in the interface (make sense). My question is how to use the
proxy to invoke the web service operation?
Thanks.
