DOC vs. RPC provider : Both are ok - I was cutting-and-pasting You could go into Session.hpp to declare init(), but moving it into the constructor is fine too.
In terms of the stack trace it would make sense if the server closes the socket, since the Axis tries to pull the soap header. There might be a bug for zero bytes returned. In any case, you will have to figure out why the server did not send the result of the 2nd call. What is your server (Apache plugin, SimpleAxisServer, Axis Java)?

I have a few questions & comments. - CPP_DOC_PROVIDER - is this the typical parameter passed to initialize? When I built the client stubs, my initialize call defaults with CPP_RPC_PROVIDER as the parameter. - When I did the little sample there, I must not have been thinking straight as *Service.cpp is one of the server-side files, so the clarity on whether anything would be the client or server code is a bit confusing. - The code you suggested appears to me to be client-side code, yet if I try to declare an init() function in the generated stub file fails, with the error: no `int session::init()' member function declared in class `session' (eg, if the stub is session.cpp, declaring session::init()... there is no init() function in Stub.hpp from the axis includes, so this seems to be obvious why it doesn't work that way. THe server-side stuff has an init() function however, which is why my confusion as to whether this is supposed to be client or server. I was reluctant to give up based on the functions not existing, so I tried moving around the initialize() & uninitialize() functions. I moved the initialize to the constructor, and the uninitialize to the destructor, and thus the individual calls (store() & get()) will not to the initialization & uninitialization during their processing. This yeilded me an "Abort (core dumped) on the second function call. The first call succeeds, but the second fails. The backtrace from gdb is included below. A look at the network traffic shows that the client connects to the server, sends the first request, gets the response, sends the second request, and the server closes the connection (as opposed to the client closing it). Any insight into this would be appreciated. Thanks, -Joe Backtrace from GDB: (gdb) bt #0 0x402327ab in raise () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x40233f12 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #2 0x401b6f47 in __cxa_call_unexpected () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 #3 0x401b6f84 in std::terminate () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 #4 0x401b70f6 in __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 #5 0x404cc6aa in xercesc_2_3::IGXMLScanner::scanNext () from /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.23 #6 0x40506c48 in xercesc_2_3::SAX2XMLReaderImpl::parseNext () from /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.23 #7 0x4035b5df in XMLParserXerces::next (this=0x805c198, isCharData=false) at XMLParserXerces.cpp:94 #8 0x400b0537 in axiscpp::SoapDeSerializer::getHeader (this=0x805b090) at SoapDeSerializer.cpp:198 #9 0x4007f68d in axiscpp::ClientAxisEngine::invoke (this=0x805a850, pMsg=0x805a888) at ClientAxisEngine.cpp:208 #10 0x4007f3b3 in axiscpp::ClientAxisEngine::process (this=0x805a850, pSoap=0x804f518) at ClientAxisEngine.cpp:115 #11 0x4008c98e in axiscpp::Call::invoke (this=0x804c3d0) at Call.cpp:145 #12 0x0804987d in session::store (this=0xbffffad0, Value0=0x804ab51 "more data") at session.cpp:61 #13 0x08049161 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffba4) at test1.cpp:31 (gdb) Carsten Blecken wrote: > Hi Joe, > > yes the connection teardown at every call can be an issue. > > I played some time ago in the stub layer to expose the Call > initialization/deinit which keeps the connection : > > The Stub object AxisService.cpp is build structurally as : > > AxisService::AxisService() {} > > AxisService::~AxisService() {} > > AxisService::setValue(int val) { > m_pCall->initialize(CPP_DOC_PROVIDER); // open the connection > ... // serializing > m_pCall->invoke(); > ... // deserializing > m_pCall->unInitialize(); // closes the connection > } > > changing this to > > AxisService::AxisService() {} > > AxisService::~AxisService() {} > > AxisService::init() { > m_pCall->initialize(CPP_DOC_PROVIDER); // open the connection > m_isInitialized = true; > } > > AxisService::deInit() { > m_pCall->unInitialize(); // closes the > connection > m_isInitialized = false; > } > > AxisService::setValue(int val) { > if (!m_isInitialized) > m_pCall->initialize(CPP_DOC_PROVIDER); // open the > connection > ... // serializing > m_pCall->invoke(); > ... // deserializing > if (!m_isInitialized) > m_pCall->unInitialize(); // closes the > connection > } > > you would have in principle full control over the > connection management.
