The JavaWorld article is indeed pretty good, except for the predating of the XHMTL tag in the struts-html tag library. Also it seems to me that the meat of the servlet they use in their example code could be encapsulated in a single custom tag that inserted the xml in the output. So if you take

Hal, I started this thread thinking not in terms of a holistic optimal architecture but a simple lightweight generic Axis access method. I completely concur with you and others that if requirements drive a ground up architectural integration of a combination of User Access and Application access

If we start with the idea [Kevin's suggestion] that on the Axis side we develop a Web Service that accepts SOAP Requests with an XML payload and spins that payload into an HTTP POST/GET to a Struts Application as if that POST or GET was coming from a Web Browser. Then we need not make any changes

If I the project had a motto it would be...In the end, the Web Service is just another View in the Model-View-Controller architecture. The value of building this is that this View allows Struts Model and Controller components to be accessed by a much broader range of clients than currently.

be of benefit for Axis. Web Services have much promise, when applied to the right problem.

David, I think it safe to say that many are probably already returning XML with Style sheets from Struts. That being the case I see little difference between the response of a Web Browser action request being an XML/XSLT page or a SOAP Client getting a response with an XML SOAP Response except

I think you are quite right in that if you are building some kinds of applications you might want to make the Axis layer integration at another level, and not use Axis4Struts, but on the other hand if you have 95% of your application accessors via users on web browsers and 5% a subset of requests

Me too, but way down the road, perhaps when you have decided what will go into Struts 2.0 in the form of Alternative Transports, from JMS, to RPC to HTTP to SOAP, etc. For now just an easy standard way to access struts via Axis seems valuable enough and small enough to avoid paralysis. Michael
