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.

I haven't fully tried Axis 2 for C/C++, but I'd like to hear comments/recommendations on which one would be better to use. > > Thanks > > Carlos > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > From: Samisa Abeysinghe > Reply-To: "Apache AXIS C User List" > Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2007 06:53:47 +0600 > > >> Carlos Escobar Zarzar wrote: >> >>> Hi Frank, >>> >>> It has to.. at our company we ceased researching axis due to it's >>> development status, but have been using gSOAP for most of our C/C++ >>> webservices, and of course, they all pack a wsdl with them ;) now >>> where that parser is being used I don't know, but I can tell for sure >>> it does parse them. >>> >> Axis2/C also have the contract first model of development. >> >>> We had success communicating a webservice written in a z/OS server >>> with a Windows XP C++ client which was built using gSOAP. >>> >> Axis2/C has proved to interop with .NET and J2EE with basic SOAP as well >> as WS-* level. >> >> Samisa... >> >>> Hope that helps >>> >>> Carlos >>> >>> Frank Zhou escribi�: >>> >>>> Thanks much for your replies.
