With any luck we will find more that are looking for this same
capability and we can join forces and save double effort.  Perhaps a
SourceForge Project if we can't get a Jakarta project for it just yet.

Subject: RE: Axis/SOAP proposal for Struts

I actually AM doing this now, but I whole-heartedly agree that a
standardized Axis/SOAP interface to Struts would be very, very cool.

I would like to propose that Struts be extended to support another entry
point.  The ActionServlet would be augmented by an Axis/SOAP Web
Services
Interface to Struts.  FormBeans would be part of the payload for
requests.
Responses would be generated by Forwards for SOAP.  This new Axis entry
point would do the same work as ActionServlet with the only significant
difference being the construction of the FormBean. Incoming SOAP
Requests
would be configured to call the same RequestHandlers and as far as the
actions go they won't know that the source was an HTML Form or a
serialized
FormBean.  

I feel this will give a great deal of flexibility to Applications where
they
want a Web Browser User Interface as well as Web Services for the same
Application Data Model and Business Logic.

I am planning on doing this anyway, and felt it applicable to this group
and
would offer to share it as a sub project and would welcome contributions
of
thought, expertise and code.
