Hi am quite familiar with the web services concept. For the past 3 months I have been working with the official Sun Web services package (JAXP, JAXM etc etc). Now for the sake of my final year project, I want to produce a web service related to my project using an alternative package (other than Sun) . Reading various resources I think that Axis is my best bet in order to illustrate my solution and my research results.
My dilemma is what is the best for (as a newbie in general) , to use Axis as my server or attach Axis to Tomcat? What is the safest solution? I tend to believe that attaching the Axis SOAP proxy to Tomcat is better! I have to mention that I want to produce a generally simple web service that will enable users to exchange data (close to ftp). The protocol and commands are already defined , data are being attached in segments into SOAP envelopes. The only thing I have to do is to transform it from a custon socket based server/client solution to a web service. Thank you very much for your time! A.P
