Doesn't IBM WSTK use Axis? Isn't Axis distributed with WSTK?

The source is available, but it isn't open source. It is subject to Sun's
source license.
The original Apache SOAP project is based on IBM's SOAP4J submission. SOAP4J
was the first published SOAP implementation. It had some architectural
limitations, so about 2 years ago, the SOAP team decided to initiate a new
project (Axis). Sun's JAX-RPC project didn't start until a few months later.
IBM WSTK is alphaWorks technology. alphaWorks technology is free, but not
necessarily open source. WSTK runs on either WebSphere or Tomcat.

And are Sun's and IBM's runtime environments not open source? Does WSTK
require WebSphere to run? If Sun's runtime is open source, what is the
motivation for this project?

Both Axis and JWSDP support the JAX-RPC API. The tools are a
bit different,
though. When you build a client or service with one, you must deploy it
using that system's runtime environment. For that reason, I'd recommend
using Axis.

Hi All!
I am new to web services, and I'd like to ask a newbie question. I am
doing a project about integrating WSDL/SOAP with JXTA (www.jxta.org).
How does Axis compare with IBM's Web Services Toolkit and
Sun's Java Web
Services Developer Pack? Are they all compatible somehow?
What features
differentiate them? As I understand, the current JXTA-SOAP
implementation is based on Axis, so I'll probably end up
using that, but
it would be interesting to know the differences.
Regards,
