Hi Manjula and Dimuthu,
Thanks a lot for the response.
1. Manjula, do you mean LibXML2 is not of pull parsing
machanism? if yes, How is Axiom model achieving the advantage of full
parsing machanism with LibXML2 as a default parser?
Libxml2 has a Pull API. We use that and wrap it with an StAX like API.
2. If pull parsing machanism is not related to LibXML2 or
Guththilla parsers, where is it implemented?
As mentioned libxml2 has a pull API, and so does guththila. Guththila
implements StAX like behavior ground up, where as the wrapper does the
job in case of libxml2.
3. If it is implemented in Guthilla parser through Stax
machanism and not in libxml2? How is Axiom model advatageous with
libxml2 as a default parser? Why should we have a Axiom model at all?
do we have any other advantages of using Axiom model other than pull
parsing machanism?
If you look at the Axis2 architecture, it is based on the XML in-out
model. The pull model becomes advantages, in the fact that, you parse to
the point that you need, and leave the rest as it is. This is quite
useful if you want to just look at the headers and route the messages.
Also helps with "doing the work, when it really matters" scenarios.
AXIOM model is important, because all the handlers of the engine expect
to see the message in that form. Being able to pull is one important
feature of AXIOM. That is one of the key performance secrets of Axis2.
Samisa...
Sorry if the doubts are trivial but i very badly need the
answers. Waiting for your response.
Thanks and regards,

Axiom is the XML model used in Axis2/C. That means any piece of valid
XML document is represented as an Axiom object inside Axis2/C engine.
Axis2/C can be used with two parsers. The default Guththila XML parser
or libxml2 parser. Guththila is a stax parser.

Axis2/C 1.3 and 1.4 have REST like REST support. Please see the
echo_rest sample of those releases.

Following is an article on plugging your own memory mechanism.
http://wso2.org/library/3412
You need to implement that Transport and plug in to Axis2/C. Axis2/C
currently support HTTP, TCP and XMPP transports. Please have a look at
Axis2/C TCP transport implementation.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/c/src/core/transport/tcp
In order to plug your Parser you need to implement the parser wrapper
layer . Following is an example.
