I had been unable to get my axiscpp 1.5 installation to process ?wsdl URL's. Apache would always segfault, even though the …/axis/ URL produces a web page with links to all the wsdls. As related below, I was able to work around the problem by hard-coding the path to my AXISCPP_DEPLOY tree. But the code in engine/Axis.cpp doesn't work.
Anyway, some other things I noticed once I got WSDL's to my browser:
1) The code that puts out the service list page seems to work from the server.wsdd file, not the wsdl's directory. Since the wsdl display code uses a simple fopen to open the wsdl file, and that's case-sensitive, some services (e.g. Calculator) where the service name and wsdl don't match case don't work.
2) My browser (Firefox) displays the wsdl as what looks like a form with a bunch of input fields, even though 'View Page Source' shows it as nicely-formatted xml. Firefox displays my trading partner's asmx?wsml file as formatted xml directly, and IE displays the axis-generated wsdl directly. Is this a mime-type issue? I know IE tends to guess file types when the mime type is wrong more than mozilla-based browsers do.
================
Here's where the problem code is. Haven't been able to code a real fix yet (and have only been able to debug by putting out some HTML and returning before the code that segfaults - there must be a better way?):
The segfault occurs in this line in the src/engine/Axis.cpp file:
sServiceName = g_pConfig->getAxisConfProperty(AXCONF_AXISHOME);
If I replace that line with:
sServiceName = "/usr/local/axiscpp_deploy/";
It works.
since the AXCONF_AXISHOME property doesn't get set up until readConfFile() is done, I also tried coding this:
if (! g_pConfig->getAxisConfProperty(AXCONF_AXISHOME)) {
g_pConfig->readConfFile();
}
sServiceName = g_pConfig->getAxisConfProperty(AXCONF_AXISHOME);
It still segfaults on the get AxisConfProperty() call, though the readConfFile call returns okay.
Finally, I tried this instead of hard-coding the 'deploy' directory;
sServiceName = getenv ("AXISCPP_DEPLOY");
Also segfaults.
What's up?
