GLUE is a product similar to Axis. Although from what I have seen I would say that Axis has a long way to go before it can match GLUE. GLUE product line has two versions, a Standard Edition (Free) which only talks to local classes and a Pro Edition (~$1500/per server) that can talk to Stateless Session beans out of the box and has some other features like UDDI.
With the Standard Edition you could write a local class that basically does a pass through to the EJB (facade pattern). Also the support from TME is outstanding. The TME staff regularly respond to the email list. The company and product rocks!

Montebove, Thanks for your response. I understand what you mean, but you are going a bit too fast for me. First you talk about a GLUE requirement. Where can I find more information about this in the manual (I searched but haven't find it ... yet). Do you mean implementing the Iservice interface ? How do you invoke the EJB method ?: Using java reflection ?
