request for info on axis c++

Hi,

we are looking for a complete C++ environment (client/server libraries + code generator) for SOAP based projects. I'm still not very familiar with Axis C++, but after reading the documentations, I've found that two features seems to be missing from Axis C++ that would be crucial for us:
- Standalone services (without webserver)
- Port to SymbianOS

Do you have plans to support these features in the near future? If not, how much efforts you think their implementation would require from a third party?

best wishes to open source :)

Istvan

I think you are interested in making the SOAP engine as tiny as possible
right ?. This is possible with our own SOAP targetted xml parser
(development in progresss) ):

You are always welcome

We're currently still in the inspection phase, considering different
SOAP frameworks to be used. Additionally, I'm not the guy in charge
here. However, I'm personally optimistic about Axic C++, you guys did a
lot of good work in a very short time.

Unfortunately it is *absolutely not* posix complient, even not fully C++
complient (e.g. no exceptions, no static variables, strange scheduling
architecture, etc). It can be programmed in pure C using some very basic
libraries only. So porting a C/C++ code to Symbian is often a pain in
the ass. :) However, it is a must since most mobile devices are based on
SymbianOS.

Soon I'm beginning to experiment with Axis C++, perhaps I'll have some
lame questions in the near future on the user mailing list. :)

hi,

 >Standalone services (without webserver)

Axis C++ has a Standalone Server built in with it. The Standalone  server 
code is not upto-date with the latest Transport Design changes. I will 
check on this and bring it to working order.

There is a standalone server but we haven't been focusing on it much
because there wasn't much interest (except for debugging). Can you
folks help with it?

> - Port to SymbianOS

Not done because of no access to SymbianOS. As always patches will
be greatly appreciated ..

As I said the first one exists already in a working form. (Roshan, can
you commment on its status please?)

I have zero knowledge of SymbianOS .. is it POSIX compliant?? If so it
should be relatively easy (or it *must* be relatively easy and we need
to improve the codebase until it is!). Do you need the dynamic loadable
handler stuff? If not that'll make things easier too.
