Hi all,
I have integrated Axis2C with a C++ code on Solaris, for a client module, that communicates with a web service on the server side. I've had problems with building, but I solved them by changing some compilation flags. At run-time, I encountered core dumps initially. I figured out, that the cause of those was the way I used and re-used string data types like axis2_char_t, I fixed those issues by freeing the strings with AXIS2_FREE.
I have it successfully running in production now.
I think the make and install scripts are huge and very complex and, in my opinion, they do some unnecessary things. It's very hard to figure out the logic in the scripts. And still, some compiler versions or platforms are not fully supported, e.g. you have to change the compiler options to be able to build on Sun Studio 12 compiler on 64-bit platform.
I am sure, that if a new release of Axis2C -
- fixes the known bugs,
- makes the compilation process easier by simplifying make/install scripts,
- provides better documentation and support for developers (please, publish more developer guidelines and quicker responses on user forum) ,

I have been using Axis2C 1.6.0 it in two projects successfully (Linux,
Windows both 32/64, HPUX), however mostly in a do-it-myself manner. I
fixed a few things (also posted defects and submitted patches) and in
the scenario I'm using it, I'm quite happy.
Currently I'm playing with it in another scenario and indeed found a
couple of memory leaks (however, easy to find with valgrind and mostly
easy to fix).
The code itself looks to me a bit cumbersome but at least understandable
(which I believe already is something valuable :-)
However, in the end, it seems suspiciously quiet and it does not look
like major future steps. But if it does right now what you need, why not
using it?
Building it on HPUX was fiddling with compiler flags, so I'd hope that
Solaris is not more difficult?
In one of the projects I used it with Rampart in a scenario
communicating with a Java server, which was more of a hassle figuring
out how it works, but in the end it did.
Regards,
tge
