I am considering on the server side I am starting to work on, the only issue is that the client we are working on should work on platforms other then windows thus will not be written in .net (it is going to be written in C++)
What is the best way of using in the above scenario, I understand to all server operations it can still hold, but the client server communications are going to suffer...
Any recommendations, is using a SOAP library that is WS compliant (like gSoap) is the way to go?
Thanks

Given a choice, I'd build my server using WCF services, where the services are implemented using CSLA objects. WCF can be (and is by default) SOAP compliant, so WCF services can be consumed by any reputable web service stack.
Chapter 11 in the Expert 2005 Business Objects book discusses web services, and the concepts apply to WCF services too. The Using CSLA .NET 3.0 ebook discusses the specific implementation details of using WCF. I'd also recommend Juval Lowy's WCF book, as it is quite good.
