It would be great if you would provide some good reasons for us to understand that we need supporting C handlers and web services in future.
Additionally, could you justify that we cannot achieve them by using C++. thanks, -Lilantha -----Original Message----- From: Nadir Amra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 11:51 AM To: Apache AXIS C Developers List Subject: RE: Axis c++ 1.5 release plan (draft 2) In 1.5, it is sufficient. However, however, I will assume, from the client side, that handlers will get supported in the future. And down the line, the server side can be completed to support C web services, although at this time there is no requirement. Nadir K.
