Axis2/C with Axis2/Java

Hi!

I've created my own webservice by writing a WSDL Document and creating a Axis2/Java webservice (with the NetBeans 6.1 IDE ).
Now I want to access this service by a C Client. I created skeleton C Files with the Java WSDL Converter tool, but can't access the service. I saw that for the example services (which actually work well) exist several DLL files (calculator.dll, etc) in the \AXIS2C_HOME\Services\"Service_Name" Folder. Logically for my Java Webservice, there was'nt any DLL created-

Ok First:
Is it possible to Access a JAVA Axis2 Service with a C Client??

Second:
Why do I need an axis2c_home environment variable to be set?
(something like: client_home = AXIS2_GETENV("AXIS2C_HOME")

I don't want to install axis2/c on all clients! Isn't there a way to just compile a "all containing" exe?



thanks in advance!

greetings

mat

Yes.

Because this environmental variable use to load engine configurations
and find the services (if it is server side).

What do you mean by "all containing" exe ?

Hi Dinesh!

Thanks for the quick response;-). Thats good news: Axis2/C works with Axis2/Java - nice.

I studied the client - example on:
http://ws.apache.org/axis2/c/docs/he...t/hello.c.html

There you need to specify the environment variable:
......
client_home = AXIS2_GETENV("AXIS2C_HOME");

svc_client = axis2_svc_client_create(env, client_home);
if (!svc_client)
{
... error handling
}

axis2_svc_client_set_options(svc_client, env, options);

payload = build_om_request(env);

ret_node = axis2_svc_client_send_receive(svc_client, env, payload);
......


for me it looks like any axis2/C Client needs a axis2/c installation/path? What i want is: To extend my C++ Programs by a simple DLL or library, to contact a webservice, defined by a WSDL.
I don't want to bother my users with an installation of axis2/c - they should download only an .exe file, is this possible?

thanks!

Yes, using that path axis2/c engine loads engine configuration which
is available in axis2.xml.

If you can ship axis2/c libraries and configuration files with your
program, you can avoid bothering your users downloading them. I don't
think it is possible to create a single exe file for Axis2/C engine. I
think it is not useful to create a single exe file.
