Is AXIS2/C what I need?
Hi All,
I am trying to build a web service application in c++,
and now investigate to see if AXIS2/c can satisfy my
needs. Specifically, I have the following
requirements:
(1) The library supports common web services standards
like SOAP/HTTP/WSDL et cetera. I will use it to build
a web service client application (web service
consumer).
(2) It should provides a rich set of APIs for me to
traverse through a WSDL and make SOAP/HTTP calls. In
particular, I need a WSDL parser so that I can parse
a
WSDL (given the WSDL file or the URL)to get the
definitions. I DO NOT NEED TO CONVERT THE WSDL TO
C++ code, just need to parse a WSDL to get the
definitions, later on I will traverse the parsed
objects to get the services, operations, messages
and types (XML schemas) et cetera to build my only
datastore for a given WSDL. This way I can
dynamically handle different WSDLs in my application
without generating the c++ code stubs every time.
(3) The library is in c++ and available for
multi-platforms, like windows, linux and unix et
cetera.
Please let me know if AXIS2/c is a good choice to me.
and how it is compared to gSOAP?
Thanks very much.
Frank

Axis2/C focus on doclit model

Ant was used by Axis C++ project. Axis2/C uses GNU make.

Axis2/Java is being used in production, so is Axis2/C.

Axis2/C also have the contract first model of development.

Axis2/C has proved to interop with .NET and J2EE with basic SOAP as well
as WS-* level.

Hi Frank,
It has to.. at our company we ceased researching axis due to it's
development status, but have been using gSOAP for most of our C/C++
webservices, and of course, they all pack a wsdl with them ;) now where
that parser is being used I don't know, but I can tell for sure it does
parse them.
We had success communicating a webservice written in a z/OS server with
a Windows XP C++ client which was built using gSOAP.
Hope that helps
Carlos

Re: Is AXIS2/C what I need?
Posted by Frank Zhou <fc...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Cara,
Thanks much for your replies. I had quite a bit of
experience with AXIS-J but not gSOAP or AXIS-c. Does
gSOAP come with a WSDL parser with APIs to allow me
traverse the various parts of a WSDL? In my
application, I do not intend to deploy just one web
services (so no code generation), I need to be able to
parse any standard WSDLs.
Thanks much.

Re: Is AXIS2/C what I need?
Posted by cara <pi...@gmail.com>.
Frank,
Hi again. Just to cover our reasons for using gsoap:
1. It is older software ... fewer bugs. Lower risk for a production project.
2. We used it for an rpc wsdl, so nothing too fancy as far as wsdls go.
3. Our legacy C++ software developers and integration team knows almost
nothing about building C++ code with ant (they dislike all things java).
4. Axis2 for java was not ready for production so (at the time) we did not
consider Axis2/c.

Axis2/C can handle SOAP over HTTP. But there are some TODOs pending in

As mentioned earlier, there is a piece of code written in Axis2/C called
woden, that can deal with the WSDL functionality that you are looking for.
Unfortunately that is not in the main source tree, because we could not
maintain it - due to lack of contributors in that space.
At some point, however, someone will again start looking into that, at
which point you would have WSDL handling features.

I am not in a position to do a formal comparison on Axis2/C vs. gSOAP.
However, here is an overview:
- Axis2/C comes with Apache license, and gSOAP comes with GNU license
- Axis2/C is just two years old, gSOAP has been around for much longer
- Axis2/C is based on Axis2 architecture, an architecture designed
to cope with extensions and addition of new WS-* spec implementations.
You would have to refer to gSOAP site on their architecture
- Axis2/C already have full WS-Security and WS-RM implementations,
to my knowledge, gSOAP do not have those specs implemented fully.
(http://www.bloglines.com/blog/samisa?id=57)
- Axis2/C has a comparatively simple deployment model. You get
Apache2 and IIS modules with Axis2/C. If you are using apache module to
deploy, it is one off configuration. But if gSOAP, you have to configure
Apache server for each and every service that you cant to deploy.
- Axis2/C has the ability to support many other transports. It
already support HTTP and TCP. WSO2 WSF/C has implemented an XMPP
transport and one of the GSOC students is implementing and SMTP
transport. To my knowledge, gSOAP only support HTTP transport

Axis2/C can handle SOAP over HTTP. But there are some TODOs pending in

As mentioned earlier, there is a piece of code written in Axis2/C called
woden, that can deal with the WSDL functionality that you are looking for.
Unfortunately that is not in the main source tree, because we could not
maintain it - due to lack of contributors in that space.
At some point, however, someone will again start looking into that, at
which point you would have WSDL handling features.

I am not in a position to do a formal comparison on Axis2/C vs. gSOAP.
However, here is an overview:
- Axis2/C comes with Apache license, and gSOAP comes with GNU license
- Axis2/C is just two years old, gSOAP has been around for much longer
- Axis2/C is based on Axis2 architecture, an architecture designed
to cope with extensions and addition of new WS-* spec implementations.
You would have to refer to gSOAP site on their architecture
- Axis2/C already have full WS-Security and WS-RM implementations,
to my knowledge, gSOAP do not have those specs implemented fully.
(http://www.bloglines.com/blog/samisa?id=57)
- Axis2/C has a comparatively simple deployment model. You get
Apache2 and IIS modules with Axis2/C. If you are using apache module to
deploy, it is one off configuration. But if gSOAP, you have to configure
Apache server for each and every service that you cant to deploy.
- Axis2/C has the ability to support many other transports. It
already support HTTP and TCP. WSO2 WSF/C has implemented an XMPP
transport and one of the GSOC students is implementing and SMTP
transport. To my knowledge, gSOAP only support HTTP transport
