This project is not dead, however, its been lying dormant waiting for Axis to complete. Apache Axis is the designated follow-on for Apache SOAP, but its running horribly behind schedule (like 6+ months already). I would like to gather up support and release a Apache SOAP 2.3 soon capturing all the updates that have gone in since the 2.2 release. We would also need to clear up the buzilla queue. If Axis does release a stable, migratable 1.0 within 3-6 months then that will be the last release of Apache SOAP. > - Regardless of the above, is this project being used > by anyone in a production environment?

That sounds like a bug in the service/client. Does the sample work correctly? Sanjiva.
