Axis2/C has a wide coverage of WSDL schema types. I am not sure whether your
case is covered or not. You can post the WSDL so that we can see whether it
is supported or not.

Yes, it is correct.

There were some effort to port Axis2/C to HP-UX. You can see the details in
[1]. Hope you would also contribute, so that we can make port it to HP-UX.

You can have a look at WSF/CPP [2] as well. It is a C++ based web service
engine wrapping Axis2/C.

Shankar

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I work for a commercial software company. Our product is a business softwar=
e that is developed in C++ and runs on various platforms : Solaris, Linux, =
WIndows-32-bit, AIX, HP-UX-Itanium. The C++ compiler we use is vendor suppl=
ied, not g++. For example in Windows, we use VC++, on AIX, we use xlC. Our =
customer has exposed some web services (WSDL) that we need to make calls to=
. So I basically need a portable C++ Soap client solution for all these pla=
tforms.<br>


<br>
I am open to C as well as C++ solutions for the web services calls. I guess=
 Axis2 is more mature than Axis ? The WSDL the customer has given is non-tr=
