Hi, The WSAS 2.3 release does not support exposing Axis1 services in a RESTfull manner. This was fixed very recenly and hence will be available in WSAS 3.0 which will be out in mid January. If you wanna try it out for the moment you could use the public beta [1] that we released last week. There will be another beta out before the end of the year.
I will provide you with an example... Thanks, Keith.
