Thanks Robert, The interest level in this is also exciting to me. Watch for the "Axis4Struts" project on SourceForge and I look forward to your participation.

I got excited thinking of the possibilities. I sent an email to one of our clients (a struts user) and our product group about this potentially being a part of a future struts package. With our current plugins for Struts (we have a model framework called eQ!), it really expands our possibilities as well, and the sales/marketing guy will love that :-) Robert Mike Oliver wrote: >Robert, > >My thinking exactly!
