Hi John, Yes both SOAP and REST request are handled by the same endpoint and there is no /soap/ or /rest/ in the request URL now.
Yes REST services don't require a SOAP envelop and you can send the request via GET , POST, PUT or DELETE. The easiest way to test REST is to go to http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/version/getVersion on the browser. This will send a GET to the version service which would respond using a POX response. If you want true REST behaviour where you can send parameters in the path segment or as customized query parameters you shpu;d have a look at WSDL 2.0HTTPBinding. If you deploy a service using WSDL 2.0 Axis2 can handle request as described in your WSDL. for eg. Axis2 default URL to get the version of the version service would be http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/version/getVersion but if you deployed this service via a WSDL 2.0 you can alter the request URL to suite your needs. If you need more help please let me know. I'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, Keith. On Nov 27, 2007 9:07 PM, John Pfeifer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently upgraded from Axis2 1.1 to 1.3.
