Axis2 > C

If you try to look at the internals of Axis2 a little bit beyond the generated stubs, you will see the ServiceClient class. Let us look at what it means.

The Axis2/C architecture consists of flows, phases, modules and handlers.

Given the tools we use with Web services today, we might not look at what is on the wire when we do Web service invocations. However, there are times you need to understand what's on the wire for different reasons. Recognizing the version of a SOAP message might help to better understand some of the problems associated within Web service communications. In this article, we will discuss how you can differentiate between SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 messages, by looking at various features of each message.

In this tutorial, Supun Kamburugamuva illustrates debugging Apache Axis2/C services and clients in both Windows and Linux platforms under different deployment scenarios.

One of the main deployment scenarios of Apache Axis2/C is with Apache Web Server. Best performance and stability can be gained by deploying Axis2/C in Apache. When deployed in Apache server, Axis2/C uses the memory pools supplied by Apache and guarantees zero memory leaks. Also due to custom memory implementation Axis2/C can perform up to its maximum.

This article by Eran Chinthaka describes the requirement of understanding the mustUnderstand SOAP header property in designing and implementing Web services.

Both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2 specifications enable you to use mustUnderstand attributes with SOAP headers. Not handling these headers properly is a common concern during Web service interactions. Within Axis2, repercussions of not understanding some of these mustUnderstand headers is common, especially in those ciscumstances when you try to use add-on modules with Axis2. This article describes the mustUnderstand header field and goes on to explain the cause of such errors. The article also looks at what happens inside Axis2, as such errors are encountered and how some of it can be fixed with minimal effort.
