WSO2 WSF/C with Apache HTTP server

Following section will show you how to use WSO2 Web services framework for C (WSF/C) with the Apache HTTP server in linux environment.
First download and install apache2 server. Please follow the instructions in INSTALL file.
Then download WSF/C and configure with the following option

%./configure --with-apache2=/path/to/apache2 --prefix=/your/wsfc_home/directory
%make
%make install

Once you do make install, this will create a libmod_axis2.so inside WSFC_HOME/lib. Copy this file to apache2/modules directory. Now please open the httpd.conf file inside conf directory. Add following entries to the file. These will be your configurations to the axis2/c web services engine.

LoadModule axis2_module modules/libmod_axis2.so
    Axis2RepoPath /your/path/to/wsf/c/home
    Axis2LogFile /tmp/apache_axis2.log
    Axis2LogLevel debug
    Axis2MaxLogFileSize 32
    <Location /axis2>
        SetHandler axis2_module
    </Location>

Done? Perfect. Let's start the server

%./httpd -k start

If the default port (i.e. 80) is in use try another port such as 8080. You can change the port in the conf/httpd.conf file

Listen 8080

Open s browser and enter the following address as the url

http://localhost:8080/axis2/services

If all goes well, this should show the deployed services. Usually these are samples comes with WSF/C.

Tree view in UNIX

I found this is interesting. If you like to get your directory structure in a tree view with a single command try following.

1. Create a shell script in directory /usr/local/bin/ (You need root permission)
   
2. Give it a name (I call it gr. )
   
3. Edit the script (usr/local/bin/gr)to include following command using a suitable editor (such as vi ;-))
   

   
   #!/bin/bash
   ls -R | grep ":$" | sed -e 's/:$//' -e 's/[^-][^\/]*\//--/g' -e 's/^/   /' -e 's/-/|/'
   

   
   
4. Give excutable rights
   

   % chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gr
   

   
   
5. Now go to any directory, (My preferred is Apache Rampart/C source) and issue
   

   % gr
   

   
   That should give you a tree view as follows.
   

      .
     |-core
     |-data
     |-handlers
     |-omxmlsec
     |---c14n
     |---openssl
     |---saml
     |---tokens
     |-secconv
     |-trust
     |-util
   
   

   
   
   

The best moment of a married life

The best moment of the married life would be the time when you realize... ohh yeah...!!! It's OVER.
I mean not the marriage, but the wedding :).
Don't I hate the experiences I'm having these days. This tiny little period in your life brings enough troubles to cry for the comfortable and relaxed life you had in the past.
Guys, the inertia of converting a GF to a wife is unreasonably tiresome and expensive. Still thinking why the "living together" is not popular among us, yet.
