Not to quibble over trivialities, but SOAP is a transport independent payload and is not dependant on HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse. Axis supports this notion very well. How this would effect the integration of the two technologies, I can't say.
Will Etson >>> "Mike Oliver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/17/03 10:31AM >>> There certainly are some bugaboos in the marriage of these two technologies (Axis/Struts) but I don't think them to be insurmountable. For example the dependency on the HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse, a SOAP Request is after all an HTTP request. So the problem becomes more the difference in the format of the input and output streams, eh? My hope is that we can find a fairly clear line of commonality and my gut feel is that the commonality line between the two entry points merge at the call to the RequestHandler, but perhaps it is one level below that with a SOAPRequestHandler that calls Actions and the Actions are common.

Mark: care to elaborate on the big picture design you're using? Mike: have you got a design vision? I have to admit that I'm having some trouble seeing how to fit it in to Struts 1.x when the actions depend on HTTP request and response, but then, I haven't spent much time thinking about it.
