Hi, I've just applied a patch that Simon Laws put up on http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-692 which provides a very simple PHP based web front-end for The C++ SCA BigBank sample. The client is nice in that it demonstrates the use of the PHP SDO extension working with SCA via web-services. It does however bring up the old problem of invoking a composite with both a ws service and a ws reference (which is what the BigBank sample provides and the WS and PHP clients use). At the moment, due to an issue with Axis2C (raised at TUSCANY-536 and AXIS2C-209), this will cause a crash. The axis issue is due to be fixed in the next Axis2C release (0.94), but I haven't seen any mention of when that is planned for - 0.93was recently released, so it could be a few months.
For now, we could do the following: - Leave the situation as is and wait for Axis2C 0.94 - Make a simple code change in SCA to comment out the freeing of an Axis object - this makes things work again, but means that users could get memory faults. - Try to find the issue in Axis and provide a patch that our users can apply to make things work. This would mean they would need to download the Axis source, apply the patch and build the Axis libraries themselves. I think the third option is probably the best, but does mean that we need someone to go delving in Axis2C code to find the issue and work out the fix... Any volunteers or better ideas? Cheers Andy
