DLL loading on Windows XP

[Patrick Duflot <pd...@gmail.com>]

Hi List,

I wrote a web service DLL. This DLL is dependant of another DLL that is not
a system DLL, so I put it in the service directory next to my service DLL.
When Axis2c tries to load my service (in axutil_windows.c callLoadLib), it
fails with a 126 error : The specified module cannot be found).
The reason is that it can find the service DLL but it cannot find its
dependant DLL.
I could work around the problem by first calling SetDllDirectory to my
service directory in callLoadLib.

Am I missing something ? Is there a smarter solution ?

NB : I am running Windows XP SP2

Thanks

Patrick

Patrick,

The DLL's that are used by your service should go in the same folder as the
main executable, I use Apache to host my web serves, so I put all the DLL's
in the same folder as httpd.exe, in your case, put them in the same folder
as the Axis2c executable.
