axis-c and apache modules...
I am working on a project that currently has an Apache C module in it.
Now I need this C code to talk to some applications via SOAP. Is
axis-C what I am looking for or is that a stand alone SOAP/Web Service
implementation using the Apache engine?
Ideally I would like to simply add to the one existing Apache Module I
have written.

So your module will act like a SOAP client to an external Web service?
If so, yes, you can use the client interface of Axis2/C and do that.

Hi Sam,
As I added before to this discussion, I believe that you could use either
of the two options,
1. Adding mod_axis2
2. Adding mod_existing (+ mod_axis2 features)
The manual caters for 1, which actually targets users, developers like you
seeking for option 2, will rather have to browse through the header files,
to understand the inner workings of Axis2/C. However, as I said before, I
believe that if you could add the functionality in mod_axis2.c (just this
single file), into your module, and add to it the other files in
src/core/transport/http/server/apache2, which are support methods and API
extensions, you can improve your module to include Axis2/C support. Thus,
you will require just only your module being deployed in your apache
server instance, instead of having two.
Regards,
Senaka

Yes service is a library Axis2/C loads up through the configuration.

So do you have any tips on exactly how I might go about doing this?
First off, it is the nature of Axis2/C such that the service is linked
into the same module as Axis2/C or is the service normally a library
that Axis2/C loads up via configuration? I get the impression it is
the former, if that is the case, how might I go about blending the
Axis2/C module with my existing module?

Ok, let me present my perspective. You can use Axis2/C's httpd module
and implement a service, that will wrap your current C/C++ business
logic and the .NET application can communicate with the service hosted
with Axis2/C's httpd module.

The application that I am developing is a hybrid. The current master
program is the .Net Windows application. It starts up the Apache web
server that is accessed by kiosks. The web application is both PHP
and Apache C/C++Module.
Currently all the communications between the .Net Windows app and
apache is by the .Net Windows program modifying text files that are
consumed by the web application.
It is now time for some the web application to respond to queries from
the .Net application. What I have done is added another handler to
the existing Apache Module to take standard query strings and reply
with XML. I would like to upgrade this to use SOAP and WSDL, ie using
Web Services. The long term goal is to move the whole application to
be a web based application, thus there should be a lot of Web Services
being used.

You can do that by using our Axis2/C httpd module. However, if I
understood your earlier mail correctly, you want to expose your own
httpd module. Or do you want to expose an existing C++ library as a Web
service?

No, I don't want to consume a server, I want to provide a service to a
.Net Windows application I am developing.

Axis2/C is the new implementation with many WS-* level support. I would

What kind of a service do you want to consume from your module? It is an
RPC style or a document style Web service?

Senaka,
Ok, I am just getting into Web Services and my Apache Module is
actually C++. Well a lot of it is simply C+ <grin>. So from looking
at the http://ws.apache.org/soap/ site, I had gotten the impression
that Axis2 has replaced Axis. From what you are saying Axis is C++
and Axis2 is either Java or C, correct?
I can go either way, C or C++. What would you recommend?

Hi Sam,
I believe you are referring to Axis2/C. Axis doesn't have a C
implementation, but, a C++ implementation rather.
You can of course use your own module instead of the existing one. You
will have to implement the mod_axis2.c file to suit your environment. If
you want any further customization, you are free to modify the entire
source within src/core/transport/http/server/apache2, as long as it does
comply to the headers.
