Re: Is AXIS2/C what I need?

[Michael Sutter]

Sorry,

I'm not so familiar with c. I think I can't debug a axis2c service with
gdb. If it is possible please tell me how.

I have a very simple service, adding to numbers in it. For the add a c++
class is used, to test if I can access c++ from the service.
All I have done is generating the skeletons and stubs from the wsdl. The
Stubs are in Java. Then I renamed the Skeleton.c to Skeleton.cpp and
implemented the functionality of the service. After that I compiled the
*.c files with gcc and the *.cpp files with g++ at the end I linked all
together with g++ - e.g.
gcc -c -o axis2_add.o -I $AXIS2C_HOME/include/axis2-1.0/ axis2_add.c
g++ -c -o axis2_skel_TestService.o -I $AXIS2C_HOME/include/axis2-1.0/
axis2_skel_TestService.cpp
g++ -shared -o libTestService.so -L $AXIS2C_HOME/lib/ -laxis2
axis2_add.o axis2_addResponse.o axis2_skel_TestService.o
axis2_svc_skel_TestService.o myadd.o
When I want to access the service I always get an segmentation fault.
If you have any idea how I can solve the problem please tell it me.
I use AXIS2C 1.0 and AXIS2 1.2

Kind regards
Michael

Could you please be more specific and send your gdb backtraces, log

locate the error. BTW is it possible to compile c using g++, thought
It for C++ (may be I need to read more ;))

Hello,

I tested axis2 with c++ and was not able to get it running. But I 
communicated with some one and he told me, that it is working.

If anybody knows how it goes it would be very nice to tell it me.
What I tried is to compile a axis2c service with g++. With some tricks 
the compiling and linkings works. But the call of the service always 
ends in a segmentation fault.

Frank,

Hi again. Just to cover our reasons for using gsoap:

1. It is older software ... fewer bugs. Lower risk
for a production project.
2. We used it for an rpc wsdl, so nothing too fancy
as far as wsdls go.
3. Our legacy C++ software developers and
integration team knows almost
nothing about building C++ code with ant (they
dislike all things java).
4. Axis2 for java was not ready for production so

Re: Is AXIS2/C what I need?

[cara]

Frank,

Hi again. Just to cover our reasons for using gsoap:

1. It is older software ... fewer bugs. Lower risk for a production project.
2. We used it for an rpc wsdl, so nothing too fancy as far as wsdls go.
3. Our legacy C++ software developers and integration team knows almost
nothing about building C++ code with ant (they dislike all things java).
4. Axis2 for java was not ready for production so (at the time) we did not
consider Axis2/c.

Hi All,

I am trying to build a web service application in c++,
and now investigate to see if AXIS2/c can satisfy my
needs. Specifically, I have the following
requirements:

(1) The library supports common web services standards
 like SOAP/HTTP/WSDL et cetera. I will use it to build
 a web service client application (web service
 consumer).
  

Axis2/C can handle SOAP over HTTP. But there are some TODOs pending in
WSDL space.
(2) It should provides a rich set of APIs for me to 
 traverse through a WSDL and make SOAP/HTTP calls. In

 particular, I need a WSDL parser so that I can parse
a
 WSDL (given the WSDL file or the URL)to get the
 definitions. I DO NOT NEED TO CONVERT THE WSDL TO
 C++ code, just need to parse a WSDL to get the 
 definitions, later on I will traverse the parsed

 objects to get the services, operations, messages
 and types (XML schemas) et cetera to build my only
 datastore for a given WSDL. This way I can
 dynamically handle different WSDLs in my application
 without generating the c++ code stubs every time.
  

As mentioned earlier, there is a piece of code written in Axis2/C called
woden, that can deal with the WSDL functionality that you are looking for.
Unfortunately that is not in the main source tree, because we could not
maintain it -  due to lack of contributors in that space.
At some point, however, someone will again start looking into that, at
which point you would have WSDL handling features.

(3) The library is in c++ and available for
multi-platforms, like windows, linux and unix et
cetera.
  

Axis2/C is a C library, that works on Windows, Solaris, MacOS and Linux.

Please let me know if AXIS2/c is a good choice to me.
and how it is compared to gSOAP?
  

I am not in a position to do a formal comparison on Axis2/C vs. gSOAP.
However, here is an overview:
   - Axis2/C comes with Apache license, and gSOAP comes with GNU license
   - Axis2/C is just two years old, gSOAP has been around for much longer
   - Axis2/C is based on Axis2 architecture, an architecture designed
to cope with extensions and addition of new WS-* spec implementations.
You would have to refer to gSOAP site on their architecture
   - Axis2/C already have full WS-Security and WS-RM implementations,
to my knowledge, gSOAP do not have those specs implemented fully.
(http://www.bloglines.com/blog/samisa?id=57)
   - Axis2/C has a comparatively simple deployment model. You get
Apache2 and IIS modules with Axis2/C. If you are using apache module to
deploy, it is one off configuration. But if gSOAP, you have to configure
Apache server for each and every service that you cant to deploy.
  - Axis2/C has the ability to support many other transports. It
already support HTTP and TCP. WSO2 WSF/C has implemented an XMPP
transport and one of the GSOC students is implementing and SMTP
transport. To my knowledge, gSOAP only support HTTP transport

HTH

Is AXIS2/C what I need?

[Frank Zhou]

Hi All,

I am trying to build a web service application in c++,
and now investigate to see if AXIS2/c can satisfy my
needs. Specifically, I have the following
requirements:

(1) The library supports common web services standards
 like SOAP/HTTP/WSDL et cetera. I will use it to build
 a web service client application (web service
 consumer).

(2) It should provides a rich set of APIs for me to 
 traverse through a WSDL and make SOAP/HTTP calls. In
 particular, I need a WSDL parser so that I can parse
a
 WSDL (given the WSDL file or the URL)to get the
 definitions. I DO NOT NEED TO CONVERT THE WSDL TO
 C++ code, just need to parse a WSDL to get the 
 definitions, later on I will traverse the parsed
 objects to get the services, operations, messages
 and types (XML schemas) et cetera to build my only
 datastore for a given WSDL. This way I can
 dynamically handle different WSDLs in my application
 without generating the c++ code stubs every time.

(3) The library is in c++ and available for
multi-platforms, like windows, linux and unix et
cetera.

Please let me know if AXIS2/c is a good choice to me.
and how it is compared to gSOAP?

Thanks very much.
