Hi Dee, If you connect to your Microsoft Web Service by C# then you are actually working in a homogenous environment, that is to say, your client works as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 3.5 or 4.0 WCF Client. And a Microsoft Client talks to a Microsoft Server. Then you have managed to make this client server connection safe by a cert and a username and a password. OK. BUT now comes the bigger challenge for you. How can you go heterogeneous? How can you make an AXIS2/J or AXIS2/C Client talk to your Microsoft .NET WCF Service? Your client will be written in C or C++ and what has been nicely generate by svcutil as a C# stub needs to be generated now as a C stub to be linked with your client code. For that, it is of advantage, if you first understand the interface, the contract, between your client and server/service. This is expressed in WSDL and maybe closer specified by some XSD, a schema definition file. Departing from this scenario, you need to lookout for a WSDL2C tool in the axis2 binary kit. It's under %AXIS2C_HOME%\bin. For a description look at http://axis.apache.org/axis2/c/core/docs/axis2c_manual.html#wsdl2c
Take the browser and get and have a look at http://your.serverice.com:8080/xyz/services/service?wsdl Hoppe this help to get started. What you should do first is to generate the stub talking to a service which is not made secure and which does not need a certificate. If you master that your AXIS2/C coded client can talk your Microsoft .NET C# coded service without the security burden, if you understand that, then you are ready for the next step, securing the conversion. Then you might have a look at AXIS2/C- RAMPART and go with this examples unless you understand what goes on. TCP Monitor helps to see the protocol, and by protocol a client is separated from its service. By protocol, the tow CL/SV become independent of implementation techniques used, such as language and run time systems. Josef -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: S.

To use this web service, I have to supply a username and a password in the C# code. I also have to install a certificate (in .cer format) into the "Root Certificate Authorities" section of the system's certificates. (By the way, the C# class I use to connect to the service was automatically generated for me with the command line tool "svcutil.exe https://address.of.service";) Here is my question: How can I connect to such a web service using Axis2/C? The example in the documentation is of a completely different nature -- it asks for a certificate, key file, and a passphrase. In my case, it is username, password, and a .cer file. So I'm not sure where to even begin. I'm not sure where my .cer file should go, and where my username and password should go. Any ideas? Thanks,S.
