I'm trying to write an app in C++ to connect to a SOAP-based web
service, and Axis seems to be the implementation of choice.
Problem is, I don't see any kind of instructions for getting just the
client side of Axis installed on my RedHat 9.0 system. Also, though
it looks like the latest Axis versions are written in C++, there still
seem to be some Java dependencies.
I suppose I could follow all the instructions and set up Apache,
xerces, java, etc. just to be able to get to the point in the
instructions where I can test a trivial C++ sample client app. But it
seems like a hellish number of steps. I downloaded both source and
binary packages, but there are no installation instructions for the
binaries. I tried just copying the bin and etc directories to the
default /usr/local/axiscpp_deploy location, but not sure if that's
right. I'd feel more comfortable just building from source, so I can
follow the instructions.
I realize I'm coming at this missing lots of Apache config experience,
but there's nothing in the docs about telling Apache where the Axis
stuff lives (except that part that tells you to copy the axis module
into the apache modules directory - I guess axis might be compiled
with hard-coded paths to take it from there, I just can't tell from
the directions that that's the case - it actually seems like they're
rcommending I change LD_LIBRARY_PATH for root).
Anyway, I guess I could get this all to work, but just wondering if
Axis is overkill for a simple client-side only SOAP caller.
Thanks,
Rob
