Hi
We have the following requirement:
- Our application GUI written using TIBCO GUI, hosted on IBM Websphere in AIX/HP-UX machine, need to invoke the "business logic" layer implemented using C/C++ on HP-UX, through Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs).
- The "business logic" is implemented as shared libraries
- We would like to consider using SOAP client/listener to invoke C/C++ libraries from POJOs. We would like to possibly wrap the C/C++ libraries to provide them as web services
In this scenario, I would like to get the following information
- What component of Apache-Axis and other related components need to be installed (Xerces etc?) to act as the Web Services Requester layer in the AIX/HP-UX hosting the WebSphere Application Server? Should this be Apache-Axis Java strictly? (as POJOs are going to interface with the C/C++ libraries present on another application server (AIX/HP-UX))
- What component of Apache-Axis and other related components need to be installed to act as the Web Services Provider layer in the AIX/HP-UX hosting the "business logic layer" in the form of C/C++ libraries wrapped into as "Web Services". Should this be Apache-Axis C++ strictly? (as the business logic is set of C/C++ shared libraries)
- Can the Web Service Requester be implemented using Axis-Java and Web Service Provider be implemented using Axis-C++?
- Does Axis work with the IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition alone? Or the other variants of IBM WebSphere Application Server? In one of the documntation, it is mentioned that it work with IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition? In the other place , it is mentioned that WebSphere 5.0 ships with Axis 1.0 built in.
Thanks and Regards
