     <title>The Web Services Engine</title>
   </head>
   <body xml:lang='en'>
     <h1>Welcome to Apache Axis2/C</h1>
     <p>Apache Axis2/C is a Web services engine implemented in the C programming
 language. It is based on the extensible and flexible
       <a href='http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_2/Axis2ArchitectureGuide.html'>Axis2 architecture</a>.
 Apache Axis2/C can be used to provide and consume Web
 Services. It has been implemented with portability and ability to embed in mind,
 hence could be used as a Web services enabler in other software.

     </a>
     <p>Apache Axis2/C supports
       <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/'>SOAP 1.1</a> and
       <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part1/'>SOAP 1.2</a>, as well as
       <a href='http://www.xfront.com/REST-Web-Services.html'>REST</a> style of Web
 services. A single service could be exposed both as a SOAP style as
 well as a REST style service simultaneously. It also has built in
       <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-mtom/'>MTOM</a> support, that can be used
 to exchange binary data.
     </p>
     <p>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.
       <br />

 The following WS-* specifications are supported, either as built in modules
 or as separate Apache projects:
     </p>
     <ul>
       <li>
         <a href='http://www.w3.org/Submission/ws-addressing/'>WS-Addressing</a>
