In Axis2/C axiom I could not find the functio you mentioned. However I 
can see
    AXIS2_EXTERN void *AXIS2_CALL
    axiom_node_get_data_element(
        axiom_node_t * om_node,
        const axutil_env_t * env);
May be you have made a mistake or is this something else?.
Also I cannot understand what you mean by your question.
Anyway when I try to sense your question I guess studying the sample I 
created
below may give you some facts to think about and discuss.

Say I have a struct cperson type in C and I have a function called

caddress_t *
cperson_get_address(
    cperson_t *person)

implemented in C. If I write a wrapper for this in C++ I will be having 
a classes called person and address corresponding to the structs cperson 
and caddress in C
and it has class variables similar to the corresponding C structures.

Here is how my wrapper method in C++ would be.
address *get_address()
{
        return (address *) cperson_get_address((cperson_t *) this);
}

Complete running sample is attached. Please study it and check the 
sanity of the code with regards to compilers, specs etc.
