Thanks, Nelson!
Well, I didn't dig deeper into the source, but I looked at the architectural guide and the Axis-FAQ. The FAQ states that Axis 1.1 supports WSDL 1.1 and SOAP 1.1/1.2 (http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?AxisProjectPages/StandardsSupported). The W3C WSDL 1.1 Spec in turn defines HTTP GET bindings for web services. See http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.html#_http for details.
As I understand this, it should be possible to implement HTTP GET style web services with Axis. Otherwise Axis wouldn't comply to WSDL 1.1 spec, or am I wrong here?
I understand that this issue is related to the design and scope of the Axis project. If it isn't implemented yet, will it ever going to be? Or should we instead make use of pure servlets to implement HTTP GET requests?
Would be nice, if someone could shed some light on this issue.
Thanks, Torsten

Now I wonder if Axis supports HTTP GET at all?
I've never looked into this, but I'd be surprised if Axis supported it. The GET binding is a fairly new thing in SOAP, I'd be surprised if Axis implements it. A quick grep of the source finds a bit of code to at least parse the GET in a WSDL, around the symbol BindingEntry.TYPE_HTTP_GET. But I didn't see any code to implement it.
I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive answer for you. Does someone else? It'd be cool if Axis could support this style of web service.
