| PackageDescription | Apache web services engine - apache module
Apache Axis2/C is a Web services engine implemented in the C
programming language. It is based on the extensible and flexible
Axis2 architecture. Apache Axis2/C can be used to provide and
consume WebServices. It has been implemented with portability
and ability to embed in mind, hence could be used as a Web services
enabler in other software.
.
Apache Axis2/C supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, as well as REST style
of Webservices. A single service could be exposed both as a SOAP style as well
as a REST style service simultaneously. It also has built in MTOM support,
that can be used to exchange binary data.
.
Apache Axis2/C is efficient, modular and is designed with extensibility. The
extensible design allows it to support the full WS-* stack with the
concept of modules. Apache Axis2/C is the Web services engine that supports
the most number of WS-* specification implementations in C, with
guaranteed interoperability. This enables using C in Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) implementations, and would be very useful when integrating
legacy systems into SOA. |
