title: Enable C application as Webservice
body: <p>We have an application written in C language which interacts with Oracle database. This application is an executable and runs on unix platform. We need to expose this application over http as web service for others to consume.</p>
  
  <p>I thought of using JNI and CXF for webservice and run the application in tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>Is this a right solution or there are other possibilities? </p>
  
  <p>I found Axis2 supporting C language to write webservice. I have no experience of C language. Is Axis2 in C is good? What http server I can use to deploy the app? Would Apache webserver siffice in this case?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The command line is not an option as though I mentioned its an exe but the part which I have to expose don't have any command line available and its bit hard as it needs complicated data structure as input.</p>
