Switching from Apache SOAP to Axos
I've just started using Apache SOAP for the past month. Is there a good reason for me to switch to Axis ? What are the major differences ? From what I've read, it seems that Axis is a follow-on project to SOAP. That seems to imply that Axis is the on-going project with constant revisions/enhancements. So it seems to make sense for me to switch over since I've only just started on SOAP. Any tips ? Thanks
RE: soap.xml and deployed-services.xml
Title: Do I need a serializer ? Now I'm really confused, the Apache documentation clearly says: init-param param-nameConfigFile/param-name param-valueconfig-file/param-value /init-param /servlet where config-file is the path (either fully qualified or relative) and filename of the SOAP configuration file. So this means that it should work if I put "/WEB-INF/soap.xml" In my soap.xml file, I have: soapServer configManager value="org.apache.soap.server.XMLConfigManager" option name="filename" value="/WEB-INF/deployed-services.xml"/ /configManager/soapServer Why is this not working ?? I really don't want to put soap.xml and deployed-services.xml in my root web directory. IT BELONGS IN WEB-INF ANYBODY ??? I'm using weblogic 6.1 Thanks. -----Original Message-From: Jamie Tsao Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 5:24 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: soap.xml and deployed-services.xml Do these files have to be in the root directory of the web app ?? Why can't I put these files in the WEB-INF directory, and just specify the path in web.xml: init-param param-nameConfigFile/param-name param-valueWEB-INF/soap.xml/param-value /init-param This seems a bit odd to me. Can somebody confirm or explain this ? Thanks

Do I need a serializer ?
Title: Do I need a serializer ? I'm a beginner with SOAP, and have been reading a lot of documentation on it. I'm a bit confused about whether or not I need a serializer. What I'm trying to build: I want to use the RPC router servlet to provide a SOAP interface to our existing platform. Outside clients would make requests to our platform by sending XML request messages (in SOAP format). They would receive responses also in XML. So I basically need to take the XML message, grab the data out and instantiate a bean to pass into our existing business objects. Is this what the deserializer is meant for ? It doesn't seem like it. The code that does this seems very specific to the particular format of the XML message, and seems more like DOM work to me. When I get the response back from the business object, I have to take the data out of the javabean, and construct an XML message to be sent back to the client. This once agains seems very specific, and NOT serializer work. If I'm right in my assumptions, do I need a serializer/deserializer then ?? Thanks for any help.
