Hi Avi, what are the merits of using Axiom on building the soap message tree by > hand? >
It just adds more flexibility. Sorry I don't know a specific scenario where it comes handy over others. Is this the only way to do it?

It presents you with a nice interface(like a function call) without any soap message building.Refer some of these article [1] & userguide. Can Axis2 inter-operate successfully with WCF based web services using the > ServiceClient/OperationClient APIs? yes, AFAIK . correct me somebody if i am wrong. cheers, Pradeep [1] http://wso2.org/library/2873
