1. Getting Axis2/C Working on Linux
===================================

	1.1 Setting up Prerequisites
	----------------------------

    1.1.1 Mandatory
    --------------
    By default Axis2/C is not dependent on any other software libraries.

	1.1.2 Optional
	--------------
    (a) libxml2 - http://www.xmlsoft.org/
    (b) zlib - http://www.zlib.net/
    (c) libiconv - http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
    (d) openssl - http://www.openssl.org/
	
	(e) Apache Qpid - You need to have Qpid libraries installed on your machine 
	                  if you are going to use AMQP transport. It is imperative 
					  that you compile and install Qpid from SVN source. 
					  You can checkout Qpid SVN source from 
					  https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/qpid/trunk.

	1.2 Using Binary Release
	------------------------

	(a) Extract the binary tar package to a directory.

	(b) Set AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where you
	    have extracted Axis2/C.
		
		$ AXIS2C_HOME='/your_path_to_axis2c'
		$ export AXIS2C_HOME
		
		NOTE : You will need to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you need to run Axis2/C 
		       samples or tests. The reason is that the samples and test codes 
			   use AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to Axis2/C. To write your own 
			   services or clients this is not a requirement.

	1.3 Using Source Release
	------------------------

	1.3.1 Basic Build
	-----------------
	
	(a) Extract the source tar package to a directory

	(b) Set AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where you 
	    want to install Axis2/C.
        
		$ AXIS2C_HOME='/your_desired_path_to_axis2c_installation'
        $ export AXIS2C_HOME

   		NOTE : You will need to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you need to run Axis2/C 
			   samples or tests. The reason is that the samples and test codes 
			   use AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to Axis2/C. To write your own 
			   services or clients this is not a requirement.

	(c) Go to the directory where you extracted the source
        
		$ cd /your_path_to_axis2c_source

	(d) Build the source
   		This can be done by running the following command sequence in the 
		directory where you have extracted the source.

        $ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME}
        $ make
        $ make install

	Please run './configure --help' in respective sub directories for more
   	information on these configure options. 

   	NOTE : If you don't provide the --prefix configure option, it will by 
	       default be installed into '/usr/local/axis2c' directory.

   	You could run 'make check' to test if everything is working fine. However,
   	note that the test/core/clientapi/test_clientapi program would fail unless
   	AXIS2C_HOME points to the installed location. (It's looking for Axis2/C 
   	repository)  This means you really should run 'make && make install', 
   	then set 'AXIS2C_HOME=/path/to/install', and then 'make check'.  
   	That's a little different than the usual 'make && make check && make
   	install' process.

	1.3.2 Build with Options
	------------------------

	(a) With Guththila
	------------------
	- Now Guththila is the default parser. Unless you enable libxml2 Guththila will be built.

	(b) With libxml2
	----------------
	
	You may need to try Axis2/C with libxml2 XML parser. You can do it by 
	giving '--enable-libxml2=yes' as a configure option.
    
	$ ./configure --enable-libxml2=yes [other configuration options]
	$ make
 	$ make install
	
	(c) With AMQP Transport
	-----------------------

	You may need to try Axis2/C with the AMQP transport. You can do it by 
	giving '--with-qpid=/path/to/qpid/home' as a configure option.
    
	$ ./configure --with-qpid=/path/to/qpid/home [other configuration options]
	$ make
 	$ make install
 	
 	(d) With openssl
    ----------------
    
    You may need to try Axis2/C with openssl. You can do it by 
    giving '--with-openssl=[Path to openssl directory]' as a configure option. Path will contain
    openssl include directory and lib directory. If path is not given, include files will be 
    taken from /usr/include/openssl and lib will be taken from /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64).
    
    $ ./configure --with-openssl=/opt/openssl [other configuration options]
    $ make
    $ make install

	1.3.3 Building Samples
	----------------------

   	If you need to get the samples working, you also need to build the samples.
   
   	To build the samples:
	
	$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib/
    $ cd samples
    $ ./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME} 
				  --with-axis2=${AXIS2C_HOME}/include/axis2-1.7.0
    $ make
    $ make install

  	Please run './configure --help' in samples folder for more information on 
	configure options.

   	NOTE : If you don't provide a --prefix configure option, samples will by 
		   default be installed into '/usr/local/axis2c/samples' directory.

	1.4 Configuration
	-----------------

	1.4.1 AMQP Transport
	--------------------
	
	You need to add the following entries into the axis2.xml.

    <transportReceiver name="amqp" class="axis2_amqp_receiver">
        <parameter name="qpid_broker_ip" locked="false">127.0.0.1</parameter>
        <parameter name="qpid_broker_port" locked="false">5672</parameter>
    </transportReceiver>

	<transportSender name="amqp" class="axis2_amqp_sender"/>

	1.5 Running Samples
	-------------------

	1.5.1 HTTP Transport
	--------------------
		
	(a) Server
	----------

	You have to first start the axis2_http_server as follows.
       
	$ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/bin
	$ ./axis2_http_server
	
   	You should see the message
		Started Simple Axis2 HTTP Server...
		
	This will start the simple axis server on port 9090. To see the possible
	command line options run
        
	$ ./axis2_http_server -h
		
   	NOTE 1 : You may need to login as superuser to run the axis2_http_server.
	NOTE 2 : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as 
			 follows.
				 
			 $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib

	(b) Clients
	-----------
	
	When the axis2_http_server is up and running, you can run the sample 
	clients in a new shell as follows.
        
	$ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/samples/bin
    $ ./echo
	This will invoke the echo service.

    $ ./math
   	This will invoke the math service.

   	To see the possible command line options for sample clients run them 
	with '-h' option

   	NOTE : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as 
		   follows.
		   $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib

	1.5.2 AMQP Transport
	--------------------

	(a) Server
	----------

	Start the Qpid broker as follows.
	
	$ cd ${QPID_HOME}/sbin
	$ ./qpidd --data-dir ./

	Start the axis2_amqp_server as follows.
       
	$ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/bin
	$ ./axis2_amqp_server
	
   	You should see the message
		Started Simple Axis2 AMQP Server...
		
	This will connect to the Qpid broker listening on 127.0.0.1:5672. 
	To see the possible command line options run
        
	$ ./axis2_amqp_server -h
		
	NOTE 1 : You have the flexibility of starting the Qpid broker first and 
			 then axis2_amqp_server or vice-versa.
   	NOTE 2 : You may need to login as superuser to run the axis2_amqp_server.
	NOTE 3 : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as 
			 follows.
				 
			 $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib

	(b) Clients
	-----------
	
	When the axis2_amqp_server is up and running, you can run the sample 
	clients in a new shell as follows.
        
	$ cd ${AXIS2C_HOME}/samples/bin/amqp
    $ ./echo_blocking
	This will invoke the echo service.

   	To see the possible command line options for sample clients run them 
	with '-h' option

   	NOTE : If you run into shared lib problems, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as 
		   follows.

    	   $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${AXIS2C_HOME}/lib
	

2. Getting Axis2/C Working on Windows (Win32)
=============================================
	
	2.1 Setting up Prerequisites
	----------------------------
	
	2.1.1 Mandatory
	---------------
    (a) The binaries shipped with this version are compiled with 
		Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (cl). And also the makefile that is 
		shipped with this version needs Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (cl) 
		and nmake build tool. 

    	NOTE : You can download Microsoft VS Express2005 Edition and 
			   Platform SDK from Microsoft website. You need to add the path to 
			   Platform SDK Include and Lib folders to the makefile in order 
			   for you to compile the source.

	
	2.1.2 Optional
	--------------
	(a) libxml2 [http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml 
				 version >= libxml2-2.6.20.win32]

    (b) zlib [http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml
              version >= zlib-1.2.3.win32]

    (c) iconv [http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml 
			   version >= iconv-1.9.1.win32]
	   
    (d) openssl [http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
               version >= openssl 0.9.8e]

	2.2 Using Binary Release
	------------------------

    Extract the binary distribution to a folder of your choice. 
    (example: C:\axis2c)

    The c:\axis2c folder structure is as follows.

    axis2c
      |
      +- bin         - server 
      |   
      +- samples - samples go here
      |         |
      |         +- bin - sample client executables
      |         |
      |         +- lib - sample libraries
      |         |
      |         +- src - source files of the sampels in bin and lib folders
      |
      |
      +- docs        - documentation 
      |
      +- include     - all include files of axis2 
      |
      +- lib         - library modules
      |
      +- logs        - system and client logs are written to this folder
      |
      +- modules     - deployed modules 
      |
      +- services    - deployed services 
      
	You might optionally require to copy zlib1.dll ,iconv.dll and libxml2.dll. Copy 
    them to C:\axis2c\lib .
    (Or you can have these dll's in some other place and add that 
	location to PATH environment variable)
	
	2.3 Using Source Release
	------------------------

	2.3.1 Setting Build Options
	---------------------------
	Please edit the <source_distribution>\build\win32\configure.in file 
	to set the following build options.

	(a) Enable Guththila
	--------------------
	
		- Now Guththila is the default parser. Unless you enable libxml2 Guththila will be built.

   	(b) Enable libxml2
	------------------
	
		- Set the ENABLE_LIBXML2 option to 1
		- Set the LIBXML2_BIN_DIR to the location where libxml2 is installed to
		- Set the ICONV_BIN_DIR to the location where iconv is installed to
	
	(c) Enable SSL Support
	----------------------
	
		- Set ENABLE_SSL option to 1
		- Set OPENSSL_BIN_DIR to the location where OpenSSL is installed to

	(d) Enable libcurl
	------------------
	
		- Set ENABLE_LIBCURL to 1
		- Set LIBCURL_BIN_DIR to the location where libcurl is installed to

    (e) Setting zlib Location
    -------------------------

        Set the ZLIB_BIN_DIR to the location where zlib is installed to

        Default location for zlib is E:\zlib-1.2.3.win32 and the folder
        structure should look like the following

        E:\zlib-1.2.3.win32
            |
            +- include
            |
            +- bin
            |
            +- lib

        You can either extract zlib to this folder or extract it to a location
        of your choice and edit the configure.in file accordingly.

        NOTE : You need to have zlib1.dll in the library path.


		
	2.3.2 Compiling the Source
	--------------------------

   	Extract the source distribution to a folder of your choice.
	Example: 
		C:\axis2c
    	
	Open a DOS shell and type:
        
	> cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\build\win32
    > vcvars32.bat
    > nmake install

	NOTE : You may need to set the PATH environment variable to vcvars32.bat 
		   if Windows complains that it cannot find this batch file. This file 
		   is located in <Your MS Visual Studio Install Directory>\VC\bin 
		   directory.

   	That's it! This will build the system and create a directory named 'deploy' 
	under the build directory.

   	The deploy folder structure is as follows.

    	deploy
      	|
      	+- bin         - server and other executables
      	|   
      	+- samples - samples go here
      	|         |
      	|         +- bin - sample client executables
        |         |
        |         +- lib - sample libraries
        |         |     
        |         +- src - sources of the samples in bin and lib folders 
      	|
        |
      	+- lib         - library modules
      	|
      	+- services    - deployed services 
      	|
      	+- modules     - deployed modules 
      	|
      	+- include     - all include files of axis2 
      	|
      	+- logs        - system and client logs are written to this folder
	
	2.4 Running Samples
	-------------------
    
	You need to set a couple of environment variables before you can run the 
	server and samples.

    Set the variable AXIS2C_HOME to the deploy folder (C:\axis2c)
    Add the path to lib directory to the PATH variable (%AXIS2C_HOME%\lib)

	You might optionally require to copy the iconv.dll, zlib1.dll, libxml2.dll to 
	the %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib folder.

	2.4.1 HTTP transport
	--------------------
			
	(a) Server
	----------

   	> cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\bin
	> axis2_http_server.exe 

   	You should see the message
      		Started Simple Axis2 HTTP Server...

   	By default the log is created under %AXIS2C_HOME%\logs folder with the 
	name axis2.log.

   	NOTE : You may provide command line options to change the default behaviour.
		   Type 'axis2_http_server.exe -h' to learn about the usage
			
	(b) Clients
	-----------

   	Now you can run any sample client deployed under %AXIS2C_HOME%\samples\bin
    		
	Example:
   		> cd %AXIS2C_HOME%\samples\bin
		> echo.exe


3. Installing Apache2 Web Server Integration Module (mod_axis2)
===============================================================
	
	3.1 Building mod_axis2 from Source
	----------------------------------
		
	3.1.1 On Linux
	--------------
		
	Provide the Apache2 include file location as a configure option

    $ ./configure --with-apache2="<apache2 httpd include files location>" 
				  [other configure options]

   	NOTE : Some apache2 distributions install APR (Apache Portable Runtime) 
		   include files in a separate location which is required to build 
		   mod_axis2.
    		   
		   In that case use:
       	   $ ./configure --with-apache2="<apache2 include files location>" 
		   				 --with-apr="<apr include files location>" 
						 [other configure options]

   	Then build the source tree
        
	$ make
    $ make install

   	This will install mod_axis2.so into your "<your_path_to_axis2c>/lib"

	3.1.2 On Windows (Win32)
	------------------------
	
   	Provide the apache2 location in configure.in file in APACHE_BIN_DIR
    	
	Example:
   		APACHE_BIN_DIR = E:\Apache22

   	After compiling the sources (as described in section 2.3) build the 
	mod_axis2.dll by issuing the command 'nmake axis2_apache_module'.
   	This will build mod_axis2.dll and copy it to %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib directory.
    	
	Example:
   		C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib 
	
	3.2 Deploying in Apache2 Web Server
	-----------------------------------

    NOTE : To do the following tasks, you might need super user privileges 
		   on your machine.

    Copy the mod_axis2 (libmod_axis2.so.0.7.0 on Linux and mod_axis2.dll 
	on Windows) to "<apache2 modules directory>" as mod_axis2.so 
    
	Example:
    	cp $AXIS2C_HOME/lib/libmod_axis2.so.0.7.0 
		/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_axis2.so (on Linux)
		
		copy C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib\mod_axis2.dll 
		C:\Apache2\modules\mod_axis2.so	(on Windows)

    Edit the Apache2's configuration file (generally httpd.conf) and add the 
	following directives

    LoadModule axis2_module <apache2 modules directory>/mod_axis2.so
    Axis2RepoPath <axis2 repository path>
    Axis2LogFile <axis2 log file path>
    Axis2MaxLogFileSize <maximum size of log file>
    Axis2LogLevel LOG_LEVEL
    <Location /axis2>
        SetHandler axis2_module
    </Location>

    NOTE: Axis2 log file path should have write access to all users because by 
		  default Apache Web Server runs as nobody.
    	  
		  If you want to use a Shared Global Pool with Apache you have to give 
		  another entry called Axis2GlobalPoolSize. You have to give the size of
		  the shared global pool in MB. If you don't set the value or if you
		  set a negative value Apache module doesn't create shared global pool.
        
          Axis2GlobalPoolSize <global pool size in MB>        

    LOG_LEVEL can be one of the followings
        crit  - Log critical errors only
        error - Log errors critical errors
        warn  - Log warnings and above
        info  - Log info and above
        debug - Log debug and above (default)
        trace - Log trace messages

    NOTE: Use forward slashes "/" for path separators in
	      <apache2 modules directory>, <axis2 repository path> and
		  <axis2 log file path>

    Make sure that the apache2 user has the correct permissions to above paths
        - Read permission to the repository
        - Write permission to the log file

    Restart apache2 and test whether mod_axis2 module is loaded by typing the 
	URL http://localhost/axis2/services in your Web browser

4. Installing IIS (Interner Information Server) Integration Module 
   (mod_axis2_IIS)
==================================================================
	
	4.1 Building mod_axis2_IIS from Source
	--------------------------------------
	
    After compiling the source (as described in section 2.3) build the
    mod_axis2.dll by issuing the command 'nmake axis2_IIS_module'.
    This will build the mod_axis2_IIS.dll and copy it to %AXIS2C_HOME%\lib
	directory.
    
	Example:
    	C:\axis2c\build\deploy\lib 
	
	4.2 Deploying in the IIS
	------------------------

    Add the following key to the registery.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Axis2c\IIS ISAPI Redirector

    Under this registry key add the following entries.

    A String value with the name "axis2c_home". The value is the AXIS2C_HOME.
	Example : c:\axis2c

    A String value with the name "log_file". The value is the absolute path of
	the log file.
	Example: c:\axis2c\logs\axis2.log

    A String value with the name "log_level". The value can be one of the
	followings.
		trace    - Log trace messages
 		error    - Log errors critical errors
 		info     - Log info and above
 		critical - Log critical errors only 
		debug	 - Log debug and above (default)
	 	warning  - Log warnings

    You can add a string value with the name services_url_prefix. This is optional and defaults 
    to "/services". As an example, if you have "/web_services" as the prefix, then all the 
    services hosted would have the endpoint prefix of : http://localhost/axis2/web_services.
    Note: don't forget the / at the begining.

    If you wish, you can also change the location as well by adding a string value with the name 
    axis2_location. This is also optional and defaults to /axis2. If you have /myserser as the 
    value you can access your web  services with a url like http://localhost/myserver/services.
    Note: Don't forget the / at the beginning.

    Now you can do all the registry editing using the JScript file axis2_iis_regedit.js 
    provided with the distribution. When you build axis2/C with the IIS module the file 
    is copied to the root directory of the binary distribution. Just double click it and 
    everything will be set to the defaults. The axis2c_home is taken as the current directory, 
    so make sure you run the file in the Axis2/C repository location (or root of the binary 
    distribution). If you want to change the values you can manually edit the the .js file or 
    give it as command line arguments to the script when running the script. To run the jscript 
    from the command line use the command :\cscript axis2_iis_regedit.js optional arguments. 
    We recomend the manual editing as it is the easiest way to specify the values

    IIS 5.1 or Below
    -----------------
    Using the IIS management console, add a new virtual directory to the
	IIS/PWS web site called "axis2". The physical path of this virtual
	directory should be the axis2\lib directory (Where the mod_axis2_IIS.dll
	is in)
    Assign excecute permissions to this virtual directory.

    Using the IIS management console, add mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a filter to the
	IIS/PWS web site. The name of the filter can be any meaningful name. 

    Restart IIS and test whether mod_axis2_IIS module is loaded by typing the
	URL http://localhost/axis2 in your Web browser.
    
    IIS 6 & 7
    ---------
    Using the IIS management console, add the mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a Wildcard Script Map.
      Executable should be the complete path to the mod_axis2_IIS.dll
      You can put any name as the name of the Wildcard Script Map

    Please don't add the mod_axis2_IIS.dll as a filter to IIS as in the IIS 5.1 case.
    
    Note: If the Axis2/C failed to load, verify that Axis2/C and its dependent DLLs are in the 
    System Path (not the user path). 

5. Using Axis2/C with CGI
	5.1  Deploying in Apache2
		
       		If you haven't already done so you need to configure and set up an cgi-bin/ directory
	        that holds your CGI scripts,where we will put Axis2/C cgi executable axis2.cgi.

	(Note: most of recent Apache web servers already have an cgi-bin dir set up, usually 
		/usr/lib/cgi-bin/. )

	Add following to your Apache2 configuration (httpd.conf) file.

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/    (Or some other directory of your choice)

	OR you can use

       <Directory /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/>
               Options +ExecCGI
       </Directory>

       AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

	{ It's recomended to restrict all your cgi scripts to single ScriptAlias directory for security reasons.}

	Now we have to set up configuration parameters via environment variables for the cgi 
	deployment using the SetEnv directive.

	 { You need to have mod_env enabled for this to work )
	Add the following to your apache2 configuration file (httpd.conf)

        SetEnv AXIS2C_HOME <your path to axis2c home dir>

        ( i.e. SetEnv AXIS2C_HOME /usr/local/axis2c/ )

	If you have chosen another alias for you cgi-bin you can also set up an AXIS2C_URL_PREFIX
        environment variable, but it's not needed if you have chosen /cgi-bin/.
	AXIS2C_URL_PREFIX defines your web services deployment url prefix. Lets say you have chosen URL
        /private/scripts/ for your cgi-bin URL and named your cgi exec as 'axis2.cgi',
	Then you need to set AXIS2_URL_PREFIX environment variable as follows:

        SetEnv AXIS2C_URL_PREFIX /private/scripts/axis2.cgi/

       
       Now we have configured apache such that all requests with URL  http://<domain-name>/cgi-bin/ requests
       are located at your configured cgi folder. We have granted Apache server to execute CGI from that directory 
       and treat files with .cgi extensions as CGI executables.

       Now you need to copy the Axis2/C cgi executable "axis2.cgi" located in <AXIS2C_HOME>\bin directory.
		
       5.2  Deploying in IIS
		
		IIS 5.1
		1. Open your 'Internet services manager'	
		2. Under your computer name and 'Default Web Site' you must create an virtual
		   directory called 'cgi-bin' (if you haven't done so by now) so right click
		   'Default Web Site' -> New -> Virtual Directory.
		3. In wizard enter 'cgi-bin' as Alias.
		4. Choose a directory of your choice for cgi scripts placement. (like C:\www\cgi-bin\)
		5. In access permissions select Read and Execute.
		6. Finish the wizard so that Virtual Directory is created.
		7. Open your selected folder (i.e. C:\www\cgi-bin\) and copy axis2.cgi there.
	
	
   NOTE: 
 	Your Axis2 endpoints now looks like this when deployed under cgi.

         http://domain-name.com/cgi-bin/axis2.cgi/<services directory>/<service name>

	For the echo service found under /services/ directory of Axis2, the endpoint will become
         http://domain-name.com/cgi-bin/axis2.cgi/services/echo
	
6. FAQ
======

1. Although I was able to get simple axis server up, unable to run samples.

	This could happen because the AXIS2C_HOME environment variable is not 
	set to the correct axis2 installation path.

2. What are the other dependencies Axis2/C has?

	Basically if you are willing to use libxml2 as your parser, you need to 
	have it installed in your system. 
	
	You can get libxml2 from http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html.

3. I have libxml2 installed in my system, but ./configure fails saying
   "libxml2 not found"
   
	Yes, you need to install 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

4. Is there any recommended packages, that I need to install in my system?

	1. automake, autoconf, libtool, aclocal
	2. libxml2 and libxml2-dev
	3. pkg-config
          
5. I tried several methods, browse through axis-c-dev and axis-c-user mail 
   archives but I was not able to solve my problem.
	
	Then you can ask from Axis2/C users or Axis2/C developers about it by
    sending your question to 
	
	user      = c-user@axis.apache.org
	developer = c-dev@axis.apache.org 

	You can subscribe to 
	
	c-user list by sending a request to 
	<c-user-subscribe@axis.apache.org> with the subject "subscribe"
	
	c-dev list by sending request to 
	<c-dev-subscribe@axis.apache.org> with the subject "subscribe"
