transfering binary content between Axis2/C webservices
Hi,
Is SOAP the only way to interact with Axis2/C
webservices? is it possible for me to send binary
content (say executable files) to Axis2/C
webservices?
Regards
IRfan

Re: [Axis2] Code freeze - Replacing double pointer env param to a
single pointer env param
Posted by Samisa Abeysinghe <sa...@gmail.com>.
I forgot to mention, guththila too would be broken with these changes.
Got to fix it.
Samisa...
Given the scale of change, I would like to call a code freeze to
facilitate this change.
I would like to freeze the code from now on till the task is complete.
Thanks,
Samisa...

Re: [Axis2] Code freeze - Replacing double pointer env param to a
single pointer env param
Posted by Samisa Abeysinghe <sa...@gmail.com>.
I would like to announce that the code freeze is over.
I have successfully updated the double pointer to a const pointer for env.
All the samples are working fine. This means util, axiom and the core
modules are building and working successfully.
Unfortunately, despite the code freeze, there had been a commit on
xml_schema and hence that would be broken. Please fix that.
Woden stuff is also changed, but could not build and test as xml_schema
is broken.
Thanks,
Samisa...

If there are no objections, I would go ahead and make this change either
today or tomorrow.

[Axis2]Replacing double pointer env param to a single pointer env
param
Posted by Samisa Abeysinghe <sa...@gmail.com>.
Hi All,
For almost all the method calls, we pass the environment as a double
pointer. This was originally done thinking that we could create an
environment in case the user did not supply a correct pointer. However,
after the code evolved, now we realize that this view is flawed. We do
not need a double pointer here.
For new users, use of a double pointer would look strange. Moreover,
it is inefficient to use a double pointer, especially given that fact
that all the methods are using it (though bulk of the getter functions
do not need it)
The better and the correct approach would be to change it to "const
axis2_env_t *".
This change is very time consuming and also would affect those that
are already using the API. However, we better change this now, rather
than waiting till late.
Thanks,
Samisa...

SwA and XOP/MTOM are two separate mechanisms for sending binary attachments
with SOAP. SwA is getting outdated now. SwA[1] never came out as a W3C
recommendation. On the other hand XOP[2]/MTOM[3] is a W3C recommendation and
all the new generation SOAP stacks are on the move for MTOM support.
MTOM is backward compatible with SwA to some extent...

As far as I know WebServices only understand SOAP. So only way to
interact with web services is SOAP. But there are some other means to
interact with Axis2/C - namely REST thru POST which uses POX (Plain Old XML)

Yes. As an attachment in SOAP. Which is called SwA (SOAP with
Attachments). Axis2/C supports this with MTOM. For the full support for
MTOM use the code in the svn HEAD.

Irfan,
You can send binary data. XOP/MTOM support allows you to send binary
attachments with SOAP messages. Have a look at the samples/client/mtom
sample. Samisa/Kapila may provide more details about this.
