A simple proxy service can be found at /samples/proxy . if the code is modified to set an alternative transport on the outbound call, you would have a gateway.

The solution to our problem is called "SOAP intermediary" (in this case a "forwarding intermediary"). But the next problem is: How do I implement an intermediary using Axis? I have read all documentation I could find, I have searched the mailing lists and the Web. But I found absolutely nothing which would give me a hint on how to implement a SOAP intermediary in a _clean_ way. IMHO the Axis architecture (and especially all the documentation) is somewhat biased towards RPC. This is sad since Axis claims to implement SOAP and not only SOAP RPC. But I might be missing something... Currently I'm trying to implement the intermediary as a normal web service which just forwards the raw message using an AxisClient engine. But this is not the way it should be done and I even don't know whether it will work in the end. I would very much appreciate if someone could comment on the problem of SOAP intermediaries and state what the status of Axis is regarding this issue. cheers, Bioern NICHOLLS T Ext OCISI wrote: > Hello guys, > > I have to do a transport protocol change when I send web services requests and responses over the internet, from one intranet to another.
