Hello Jean-Marc,
thank you for your answer and hints.
But I´m sorry, I don´t get it L
Maybe I have a problem with the wording here. I understand client as one
option to trigger a service. For example a webbrowser is a client. The
axis2c-client-API allows me to use the same service from my c-application.
So if I want to access the data gathered by my old program from within a
webbrowser I need to write a such an axis-client into my app. And these
client also connects to the service and gets all requests from the browser
forwarded?
i.e. browser <- -> axis-service <- -> axis-client (my app)
And a short second question J
I already implemented a first (dumb) service which react on a REST call
(URL). It returns the data in xml. Is it possible to return the values in a
simple string like: {val1=x;val2=y}
Kind regards
Chris

Hi Christian,
Im currently working on an integration project which involve an old legacy
TXSeries / Cobol environment on AIX, and REST-API to invoke Web Service. I
used AXIS2C 1.7 Client API, build with libxml2 2.9. I had to apply a small
fix in the http_sender.c module (see JIRA AXIS2C-1626), to make-it work. I
have also implement XPATH search query from the client side.
You just can use a stub module from your existing application, that will be
link with dynamic libraries, or integrate directly the native AXIS2C client
API.
You should consider generating / building both AXIS2C and LIBXML2 from your
own installation. It make it much more flexible when its time to build.
Have fun,
Jean-Marc

Objet : [Bulk] How to use Axis2C (REST) as 'gateway' to an existing app
Hello all,
I´m completely new to Axis2c so I have an absolute beginner questions, but I
haven´t found an answer yet so maybe you could point me to the right
direction.
I currently have a more or less finished application on an embedded
linux-PC. This application gather different information and data from a lot
of places. Now I would like to use a REST-API to get and set some of this
data. Firstly I hopped I could easily integrate axis2c into my application
(as a REST-server) but I realized that it offered a standalone server with
services I can implement.
So to my question:
Is there a concept or idea how I can use the axis2c server and use it as
some sort of gateway/REST-server for my existing application? Should I write
an axis2c-service that routes the incoming calls to my existing program
like:
External call <-REST-> axis2c-service <-UDP-> existing tool
Or maybe implement an axis2c-client into my existing application which also
connect to the axis2c-server?
Am I right that it is not possible to implement an axis2c-service into my
running application? It would be some sort of library which is linked at
runtime into my program.
Thanks in advance
Chris
