Is Axis much faster than SOAP?

[Ranjith Kodikara]

Hi,     Is it true that apache Axis is much faster than SOAP? Because Web Services communicate with RPC, the normal RPC overhead of communication should be occurred in the marshalling processes at the client and sever stubs. Doesn't this happen  in the communication of Axis web services? Or Is there any communication speed enhancements achieved by some other things?    (Yesterday only I configured Tomcat and deployed example Axis web service and it's nice to see that it can be deployed very easily. )   Regards, Ranjith ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
