VirtualBox comes with all necessary files and documentation to build fully functional COM applications. For an introduction, please see chapter VirtualBox also comes with WSDL files that describe the services provided by the web ser- vice. You can find these files in the sdk/bindings/webservice/ directory. These files are understood by the web service
