[wsf-c-dev] WSF/C runs on Android

[Diluka Moratuwage]

Hi Devs,
    I'm very pleased to announce that, I was able to successfully port 
WSF/C on to Android platform (http://code.google.com/android/). I could 
run all the basic samples that come with WSF/C in the Android platform. 
These results prove WSF/C will be a very good candidate for the Web 
Service stack in Android platform. I faced some difficulties due to 
unavailability of information about Android's C library, and header 
files (It has a custom built C library) and also the compilation of 
libraries on Android. Then I had to come up with GLIBC cross-compiled 
for ARM/Linux platform in order to make a proper build. I used Guththila 
as the parser for Android and made few minor changes to the build in 
order to get it correctly run there. Currently I'm trying to expose the 
WSF/C service client interface through a java API, which will use JNI in 
order to consume Web Services. Currently I'm working on the JNI 
interfacing to run a simple java client program, to invoke a Web Service 
inside Android platform.

Thanks,
Diluka.
