Axis C 1.4 support for 64bit architecture - unknown exception

[Radoslav Dorcik <di...@gmail.com>]

Hello Guys,

we decided to use Axis C 1.4 for our project (simple SOAP client
communication). Problem is that 64 bit compiled version of libraries doesn't
work:
I got unknown exception in (found by tracing in gdb)
axispp::SoapMethod::serializeOutputParam() and program is aborted

This part of code causes the Exception in Axis library:
for(<list<Param*>::iterator it = m_OutputParams.begin(); it !=
m_OutputParams.end(); it++)

This part of code causes the Exception in STL (probably list):
{ return static_cast<_Node*>(_M_node)->_M_data; }

It happens during "invoke" call of WS client generated by WSDL2C but also
with Soap Test suite included in Axis C++ 1.4.

With 1.6b we were able to run SOAP client communication. Param.h/Param.cpp
is different between 1.6b and 1.4 version of Axis C++.

x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can be Axis 1.4 C used on above machine ? Do you need more informations ?

32bit version (libs and apps) are working fine with that machine but our
application should be compiled as 64 binary.

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

we finaly found issue with Axis 1.4 C lib on 64 bit architecture since they
are using "unsigned int" as storage for "string::npos"
but string::npos on 64 bit architecture is 8 bytes. And when they do
something like this:
unsigned int npos = string.find...("fo");  /* not found, returns npos */
if(npos == string::npos)
{
   //not reached on 64 bit
}

These classes are affected:
BasicTypeSerializer.cpp
Axis2Transport.cpp

Now i don't know what to do...

Regards,
Radoslav
