Apache Axis2/C What is it? ----------- The Apache Axis2/C is a SOAP engine implementation that can be used to provide and consume Web Services. Axis2/C is an effort to implement Axis2 architecture, in C. Please have a look at http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/Axis2ArchitectureGuide.html for an overview on Axis2 architecture. Axis2/C supports both SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2. The soap processing model is built on the AXIOM XML object model. Axis2/C is capable of handling one-way messaging (In-Only) as well as request response messaging (In-Out). It can be used in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Axis2/C has built in WS-Addressing support. It implements WS-Addressing 1.0 specification completely. It also has built in MTOM/XOP support for handling binary attachments. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust, commercial-grade, standards-based Web Services stack implementation with freely available source code.
