error code is returned, expected error number 3.

                 Key: AXIS2C-791
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-791
             Project: Axis2-C
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core/clientapi
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
         Environment: Windows XP, Visual Studio 2005
            Reporter: Bill Mitchell
            Priority: Minor


If a blocking I/O is requested for an in-out message exchange and no response 
is received, axis2_svc_client_send_receive et.al. return a zero response 
pointer.  But one would expect the errno variable to contain some value 
indicating the error.  

In op_client.c in axis2_op_client_two_way_send() there is code at the very end, 
when there is no response envelope, to ensure that an error code is returned:
            if (AXIS2_ERROR_GET_STATUS_CODE(env->error) != AXIS2_SUCCESS)
            {
                AXIS2_ERROR_SET(env->error,
                                
AXIS2_ERROR_BLOCKING_INVOCATION_EXPECTS_RESPONSE,
                                AXIS2_FAILURE);
                if (engine)
                {
                    axis2_engine_free(engine, env);
                    engine = NULL;
                }
                axis2_msg_ctx_free(response, env);
                return NULL;
            }
As you can see, the !=AXIS2_SUCCESS test should be ==AXIS2_SUCCESS, as the 
intent is to return error number 3 when no other error has been diagnosed.  

Unfortunately, even after this fix, in the nightly build of 11/27/07, there is 
a new bug that causes error number 3 to be replaced with an uninformative error 
2, invalid null parameter.  In svc_client, when the empty response is returned, 
axis2_op_client_add_msg_ctx() is called with an intentional null value clear 
the ctx.
In the post 1.1 source, parameter validation has been added to 
axis2_op_client_add_msg_ctx() to diagnose this intended result as an error:
AXIS2_EXTERN axis2_status_t AXIS2_CALL
axis2_op_client_add_msg_ctx(
    axis2_op_client_t * op_client,
    const axutil_env_t * env,
    axis2_msg_ctx_t * mc)
{
    axis2_msg_ctx_t *out_msg_ctx = NULL,
        *in_msg_ctx = NULL;
    axis2_msg_ctx_t **msg_ctx_map = NULL;

    AXIS2_PARAM_CHECK (env->error, op_client, AXIS2_FAILURE);
    AXIS2_PARAM_CHECK (env->error, mc, AXIS2_FAILURE);
The second AXIS2_PARAM_CHECK should be removed.  

After making both these changes in the development shapshot, when the client 
receives no response, for example if the URL points to a non-running server, 
the client correctly receives error 3,  Blocking invocation expects response.
