Title: RE: need an alternative to Sun's JAX-RPC RI in JWSDP 1.2

As with Peter, I can’t comment on #2, but I have used both, and I prefer AXIS to JWSDP.   More forgiving of what is required to build a web service The deploy file is easier to understand Easier to use More support (this group)   That said, AXIS itself has some issues:   As of 1.1.RC2 anyway, no support for List collections .NET support is not all there Administrative interface is pretty Spartan Security options a bit immature/not present   Which, should not be taken as a dig on AXIS, just that we needed some of those things for a commercial project I am working on, so we need to turn to a commercial WS kit.  Howver, AXIS is great for the price :-)   JIm   Jim Brain, [EMAIL PROTECTED] “Researching tomorrow’s solutions today.” (319) 369-2070 (work) APPLICATIONS ARCHITECT, AFP-IT   -----Original Message----- From: Pascale, Peter H.

I also had a problem with the JWSDP wsdl2java tool. It had a problem with the WSDL that a customer had generated. I got nowhere when approaching Sun about the issue. I did not have the problem with Axis or a few other toolkits that I tried at the time.   Peter   -----Original Message----- From: Mark D.

(2) Specifically, I'm trying to use JAX-RPC as a platform to develop a simple messaging framework.  JAXM would actually be better suited to my purposes, but I can't use JAXM because I need to use official J2EE technology. I discovered that the current JAXRPC RI doesn't support dynamic proxy for oneway doc/lit - so it can't be used to develop my messaging framework.  Does AXIS 1.1 support dynamic proxy for oneway doc/lit? -----Original Message----- From: Volkmann, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 9:15 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: need an alternative to Sun's JAX-RPC RI in JWSDP 1.2 I have worked with both Axis and JWSDP.  What do you want to know? > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark D.
