Thanks, Bruce. One more question.Janet,
Is is better to use JBoss-net or to just use regular JBoss and then Install Axis separately? Or does JBoss automatically come with Axis? I downloaded regular JBoss 3.2.3 and it looks like it has Axis already.

Also, do I need to do anything else as far as installation of Axis? I downloaded the Axis zip file separately so that I could get the Axis
documentation,
but I don't which version to look at.

Jan,
you can find the details here: http://www.jboss.org/developers/projects/jboss/dotnet
where it says that there is "1RC1 in the 3.0 branches, 1.1 Final in the 3.2 and 4.0 branches and head".
The page also has a few links to tutorials on using it.
The main thing to remember is that jboss.net is under %jboss_home%/server/all/deploy
so you need to either
a) rename all -> default b) move jboss-net.sar to the server/default/deploy directory c) start the server from a console with 'run.bat -c all'
Jboss.net is part of jboss. You'll find it as jboss-net.sar under the server/all/deploy directory if it isn't under server/default/deploy. You don't need to deploy Axis on its own at all.
You get a number of freebies with jboss-net including autodeploy and if you're integrating EJBs and other classes (I think - but haven't had a chance to try) then you can use xdoclet to autogenerate the deployment descriptors too. If you go up to version 4 of jboss then you can also use uddi and smtp. This is comming up for release 3 so is fairly stable.
-- cheers,
