AXIS C++ - starter kit for client on windows- WS from C++

To call Webservice from C++ (VC6 in may case) consider using AXIS C++ - gSoap is also a good option.

before starting your code , its very important to set the axis c++ correctly, i get many "system exception" until i figure out that i need to set the environment  properly.

after downloading your version  (axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin) and extract it.

set the this environment  variable:

• AXISCPP_DEPLOY=D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\ -- [ your path]
• add %AXISCPP_DEPLOY%\bin to your PATH.
• download  - xerces 2.2  , grab the dll from the bin directory and put it in the %AXISCPP_DEPLOY%\bin directory.
• Create file axiscpp.conf at %AXISCPP_DEPLOY%

in the file set the next rows - use full path:

#ClientLogPath is for axis trace - leave empty in case you dont want

ClientLogPath:D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\logs\AxisLog.txt

XMLParser:D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\bin\AxisXMLParserXerces.dll

Transport_http:D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\bin\HTTPTransport.dll

Channel_HTTP:D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\bin\HTTPChannel.dll

Channel_HTTP_SSL:D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\bin\HTTPSSLChannel.dll

you are done - its configured properly.

to create your C++ classes from WSDL:

• get the wsdl 
• open cmd windows
• set the classpath 
• e.g set CLASSPATH=D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axis\wsdl2ws.jar;D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axisjava\axis.jar;D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axisjava\commons-discovery.jar;D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axisjava\commons-logging.jar;D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axisjava\jaxrpc.jar;D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axisjava\saaj.jar;D:\MyStuff\axis-c++\axis-c-1.6b-Win32-trace-bin\lib\axisjava\wsdl4j.jar
• run the command 
• java org.apache.axis.wsdl.wsdl2ws.WSDL2Ws any_wsdl.wsdl -lc++ -sclient

you should see your header/cpp files in the directory.

happy coding

great post !!

Usefull MQ command

here are some usefull comand to use when working with MQ
command to display the queuestatus of a queue:
dis qs() type(handle) all 

command to display the queuestatus of a queue (and only display the pid) :
dis qs() type(handle) pid 

command to display the queuestatus of a queue (and display the applicationtag and the pid) :
dis qs() type(handle) appltag pid
display all the queues that contains more then 0 messages: dis ql(*) where (curdepth gt 0) 

start an api trace:
strmqtrc -m [QM]  -t api
(the -t has several options. Logs are written to: /trace)

end a trace:
endmqtrc -m [QM]


on windows you can read the TRC files via text viewer.

Enjoy
