I apologize for giving inaccurate information. I clearly recall users on the jax-rpc discussion list citing difficulties when trying to deploy JWSDP on any platform other than the version of Tomcat that was distributed with JWSDP. But now that I think about it, that was JWSDP v1.4, and I believe it required a servlet feature that is now part of J2EE 1.4. At that point in time, only the latest version of Tomcat supported that feature. I'm pretty sure that JWSDP requires J2EE 1.4.

It's not that I have anything against Tomcat, but if you plan to deploy on WebSphere 5.1 or WebLogic 8 or some other pre-existing J2EE engine, then you don't have the luxury of deploying on the latest release of Tomcat.

If your goal is simply to learn, then JWSDP and Axis running on Tomcat are both excellent solutions. If your goal is to deploy a production application on a commercial J2EE application server, then you need to make sure that the SOAP stack runs on your target platform. You also need to make sure that you have an appropriate license to use the software for a commercial purpose.

Just to add to Farrukh's comment:
I am not sure why "JWSDP requires latest release of Tomcat" is a
concern here ...

IMO, this is a very good thing for a developer who wants to learn
about the latest webservice development. The latest release of
Tomcat 5.x has many new features compared to the Tomcat4.x and
Apache people have done a great job and there is nothing wrong in
using Tomcat5.x.

The Apache Axis is also a good framework and basically it's also a
web app(meaning .war file) and runs ontop of Tomcat.

So in both case, it needs Tomcat.

Again,IMO for learning webservices, full blown AS may be heavy
weight and lightweight frameworks like JWSDP or Axis is a great
start.

Just FYI:I haven't tried the latest Axis yet but from the doc, it
still runs on Tomcat4.x,
