Hello Axis Developers and Users, There is now a C++ SOAP implementation underway in the Axis project (http://ws.apache.org/axis). We would like to invite everyone to come join us in that work!
The C++ SOAP implementation plugs directly into HTTPD via a new module, mod_axis. The implementation supports all the key concepts from Axis, including dynamically loaded handlers and providers, WSDD etc.. The implementation supports using a pull-parser or any other kind of parsing technology. In order to operate in a reflection-less approach, we are working on a tool to generate a wrapper that fronts the actual service code. The architecture docs explain the approach we have been taking so far. (Docs are currently only in the CVS tree; we will soon put them up on the Web too.) The status is that the server-side code framework is complete and working. Now we are working to complete the server-side, complete the wrapper tool and to modify Axis/Java's WSDL2Java tool as a stub generator for WSDL2C++. Once the server-side is done, we intend to reverse the logic of the main driver to form the backbone of the client-side and then layer on the client-side API which was developed earlier as a contribution to Axis/C++ (see in the contrib/ directory). We invite all interested C++/Java developers to come and help us! We especially appreciate any help on mod_axis w.r.t. how it should work in the presence of multiple processes etc.. Please come join us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Susantha. --------------- Lanka Software Foundation (http://www.opensource.lk.) Promoting Open-Source Development in Sri Lanka. ---------------
