IChannel operator >>() should not have const parameter.
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: AXISCPP-870
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-870
     Project: Axis-C++
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Transport (axis3)  
    Versions: 1.5 Final    
    Reporter: Duane Murphy


The function signature

    virtual const IChannel&             operator >> (const char * msg)=0;

from IChannel.h should not have the parameter be const. The correct signature 
should be:

    virtual const IChannel&             operator >> (char * msg)=0;

Input streaming operators are non-const. The value of msg will be overwritten 
by the operator by definition.  This function is implemented by casting away 
const.

Note: this functions signature is also used in the axis2 IChannel interface.

Note: that this function is inherently dangerous as it assumes that msg points 
to at least BUF_SIZE storage. Using a std::string or std::vector<char> would be 
a better choice.
