Abdullah, What precisely is your business layer? You have a few options...One you can use a delegate between your impl class and the business layer that knows how to access the business layer and make the appropriate calls. Two, you can have the impl access the business layer directly (I prefer to separate the code myself, but the choice is yours).
So basically, web layer makes call to Axis, Axis uses delegate to access the business layer, business layer performs its magic and returns to delegate who returns to axis who returns to web layer. Hope that helps, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Abdullah Jibaly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 1:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Axis & workflow based services Bill, Thanks for the input. However, my presentation layer is going to be Laszlo, and I want to communicate with the business layer using axis. That's why I can't get to struts, axis will be processing the request first.
