Apache Axis2/C is a web services engine implemented in the C +programming language based around the Axis2 architecture. Axis2/C can +be used to provide and consume web services. It has been implemented +with portablity and the ability to embed and could readily be used as a +web services enabler for other software.
+ +Apache Axis2/C is released under the Apache 2.0 +License, a copy of the License is found in the LICENSE file +found in your distribution. Apache Axis2/C also depends on several +other projects of which licensing information are also included in the +LICENSE file.
+ +Apache Axis2/C can be freely downloaded at the Axis2/C +Download Page or at any other mirror. Please note that +Axis2/C source and binary packages are tailor made to suit specific +classes of operating systems. Please make sure to choose the one that +best fits your requirement as well as your operating system.
+ +Apache Axis2/C is a result of a highly involved list of apache +committers, developers, as well as a keen group of users. For more +information on our team, and how to get involved, please visit our Team Page.

Yes, Axis2/C supports code generation using the WSDL2C tool. +Information on how to use this tool can be found in our documentation.
+ +Yes, Axis2/C supports SSL enabled communication. More +information can be found in our documentation.
+ +Axis2/C itself does not support compression. If you are using +mod_axis2 and the Apache HTTP server, you can also mod_deflate for +compression. Also, you can enable compression by using libcurl as the +http sender on the client side.
+ +No, there is no support for SOAP Sessions in Axis2/C.
+ +Yes. This requires a few changes to the axis2.xml file. +Information about this can be found in our documentation.
+Currently Axis2/C has been ported to following platforms.
+1. Linux based distributions(Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat Linux etc...,)
+2. Sun Solaris 10(intel)
+3. Mac OS X
+4. Microsoft Windows
+Patches are welcome!

In Windows you have to put the ENABLE_GUTHTHILA =
+1 in the build/win32/configure.in
+file. In Linux you have to specify the configuration option --enable-guththila=yes.
+In a Microsoft Visual Studion Project (VC Project) this is little bit
+difficult. You have to add the guththila project to the existing
+Axis2/C solution. Then in the axis2_parser project, we have to remove
+the libxml wrapper files and add the guththila_wrapper files. Also in
+the axis2_parser project we have to change the include files and linker
+input files (libs) to corresponding guththila files (guththila.lib
+and guththila/include).
MTOM can be disabled by commenting out the following line from
+your axis2.xml.
+(<parameter name="enableMTOM"
+locked="false">true</parameter>)
Just add the following code to your C source files and then +use a C++ compiler. +
+#ifdef __cplusplus+ +
extern "C"{
#endif
/* YOUR C CODE HERE */
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
To secure SOAP messages, you need to engage Apache Rampart/C +as a module, which can be downloaded from here. +Please refer the installation +guide and configuration +guide for more details.

Make sure that your AXIS2C_HOME/lib
+directory is added to your PATH Environment
+Variable.
This is usually because the AXIS2C_HOME
+Environment Variable is not set to the correct path. Make sure that it
+is set to your Axis2/C installation path.
Make sure that you have installed the libxml2-dev packages.
+1. If you are using a
+Debian based system run
$ apt-get install libxml2-dev
+
2. If you are
+using a RedHat/Fedora based system run
+ $ yum install
+libxml2-dev
+
3. If you install libxml2 from source
+you will not get this error
