Hello Everyone,
I am new to Apache Axis and to Web Service. I would appreciate if you could provide
some answers to the below questions?.
1. What is the benefits of using Apache Axis?.
Without using Apache axis, a developer can just create wsdl file(using
a wizard..for eg. IBM WSAD Web Service wizard) and register to uddi server for client
to access or directly inform client the host where web service is running. But using
axis, not only we create wsdl file thru java2wsdl utility, we also create java classes
(skeleton class etc) and wsdd files thru wsdl2java and deploy them using AdminClient
utility to Axis Engine. Is all this work necessary?. Will I gain any benefits out of
this additional steps when the wsdl was already created using java2wsdl file (As far
as I know, wsdl file is all user looks for)?.
2. Is there a way for .NET client to access a java web service that has objects(java
bean objects) as a parameter/return types?. Is this possible?
3. Last question, Is there a way for java web service to pass a microsoft excel file
to any client?.
I appreciate everyone's input and I thank all of you in advance.
Regards,
Pinal Patel
