Problems using Axis2/c in Windows

[Pete Maclean]

I am attempting to use Axis2/c 1.6.0 to generate C client stubs in Windows with the "-d adb" option for use with the Microsoft C compiler and am facing three problems.

First I had trouble actually generating the stubs using the WSDL2C.bat file supplied in the package.  I got past this obstacle by changing the line that read:

java -classpath %AXIS2_CLASSPATH% org.apache.axis2.wsdl.WSDL2C %*

to:

java -classpath "%AXIS2_CLASSPATH%" org.apache.axis2.wsdl.WSDL2C %*

Since I can see no downside to it, may I suggest that this change be made to the distribution package.  It could save a bit of puzzlement and frustration.

The other problems cause the generated code to get compilation errors.  The second is that declarations are generated that are not at the top of their blocks.  I see code like this:

{

                 axiom_node_t *text_node = NULL;

                 text_node = axiom_node_get_first_child(parent, env);

                 axiom_text_t *text_element = NULL;

                 ...

This is fine in C++ but not in plain C.

The third problem is one that I have yet to fully analyze and I will post about it later.

By the way, I previously posted a version of this message to the axis-user mailing list having not realized at the time that there is an axis-c-user list.

My thanks for any assistance,
