Re: C++ Web Services article
Hi Folks,
I put this up yesterday, Is everyone OK about the choice of parser &
transport ? Initially It will be Samisas new transport until Libwww gets
working.
John Hawkins
Cool :-)
We are in the middle of getting regular daily builds put up to the apache
site. If you can tell us how to create the mage then we can get it put into
this process :-) If it's easy then we can put it into the ANT scripts for
you.
Our builds are going to be built on
Xerces as parser,
libwww as transport (providing Samisa can make it work in next few wks)
Intel redhat Adv svr 3.0 (linux kernel 2.4.21-15.EL smp)Update 2 - gcc
3.2.3 (built into OS)
Win 2003 - MS Dev 6.0
AIX 5.1 ML4 - Visual Age C++ 6.0.0.0

"Apache AXIS C
Developers List"
If project is interesting of making Linux RPMs.
I had quite a bit of experience with them and can
try to make one(s) for axis.
If so, I need to know some preferences:
- which XML parser to use (I used expat on Linux)
- which release to use (so far I used 1.2 with success
for my business project)
- which Linux distribution to use (so far I used
Fedora and RedHat 9), I can make spec files which can
be tested and used for other Linux distributions
One comment though, I can start only in mid-October,
since I'm going to conference and need to prepare a
lot of stuff.

"Apache AXIS C Re: [Default Parser for build] C++
Developers List" Web Services article
I used the tests/client/performance/time test program with both Expat and
Xerces parsers.
The client crashes with Expat parser if I try to use a message with more
than 7580 characters.
(with older transport the number of characters possible even much less than
this)
With Xerces parser, I could go upto 2621440 characters and it did not crash
(I did not try larger
messages than that)
However, Expat parser was slightly faster than Xerces parser for smaller
messages.
Until someone fix problems with Expat parser, I propose using Xerces as
default parser for our
builds.
Thanks,
Samisa...

Re: C++ Web Services article

Is it possible to build for both apache2 and apache1.3 in the first
place. I guess if you can do for one it is not difficult to do for both
thanks

Re: [Choices for ant build server side] C++ Web Services article
Posted by Samisa Abeysinghe <sa...@yahoo.com>.
John,
Personally I believe it is worth putting effort into, as this could be used very effectivel
for testing etc. Additionally, it would help more users try out Axis C++ with miimal effort
(without having to install Apache etc.)
The effort:
According to my understanding, the task of updating and getting the Simple Axis server working
requires a developer with some good understanding of the serializer, deserializer, parser layer
and transport layer. Ideally we need someone who has a very good understanding of the apache
modules.
The time required for suc a person would be two full weeks. (If I am to do this, however, I would
need at least three to four weeks, as I have to study the apache modules in more depth)
Thanks,
Samisa...

Hi Samisa,
C server is almost non-functional - pardon?
Do you mean it doesn't work? I keep seeing people on the mailing list
attempting to use it?

Hi Adrian,
Out of the 3 choices for the server side, Stand-alone Axis C Server is
almost non functional,
with the simple Axis server code not being updated in line with the changes
to the parser
abstraction etc. So that is out.
When selecting between Apache 1.3 vs. Apache 2, why not go for the
latest?
Thanks,
Samisa...

Hi,
Currently, the ANT script we'll be using for the daily builds compile the
Client, Transport and XML Parser libraries. Obviously, we'll also need to
build the server-side libraries.
Looking at the documentation it appears there are 3 choices for the
server-side:
Stand-alone Axis C Server
Web server module for Apache 1.3
Web server module for Apache 2
Does anyone have an opinion on an obvious first choice for the daily
builds? What do most people use out there?

If project is interesting of making Linux RPMs.
I had quite a bit of experience with them and can
try to make one(s) for axis.
If so, I need to know some preferences:
- which XML parser to use (I used expat on Linux)
- which release to use (so far I used 1.2 with success
for my business project)
- which Linux distribution to use (so far I used
Fedora and RedHat 9), I can make spec files which can
be tested and used for other Linux distributions
One comment though, I can start only in mid-October,
since I'm going to conference and need to prepare a
lot of stuff.

I had quite a bit of experience with them and can
try to make one(s) for axis.
If so, I need to know some preferences:
- which XML parser to use (I used expat on Linux)
- which release to use (so far I used 1.2 with success
for my business project)
- which Linux distribution to use (so far I used
Fedora and RedHat 9), I can make spec files which can
be tested and used for other Linux distributions
One comment though, I can start only in mid-October,
since I'm going to conference and need to prepare a
lot of stuff.
