Hi, I have to decide, if we can use axis for our project, so i just want to ensure the following point: If i build a web service server with axis, do I have to use axis on the client side as well? and vise versa: can i build just the client with axis? thanks very much andreas *********************************************************************************** This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.
