I have a servlet that accepts SOAP requests over HTTP. I want to take the SOAP Envelope and do with it as I please. (I don't need the method invoking, deployment via wsdd, serializing/deserializing, etc that Axis provides.) I then want to generate my own SOAP response and return it in the HTTP response.
Can Axis (or Apache SOAP) be of any use to me? Can I use the Axis (or Apache SOAP) API to simply parse a SOAP message (or construct a SOAP message), without having to work with engines/handlers/providers/etc? Or would it make more sense to simply use an XML API (for example, xerces) to parse the SOAP request (and construct the SOAP response)? Steve Pannier Jacada, Inc.
