webservice -- axis

http://axis.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html

 

Axis is essentially a SOAP engine -- a framework for constructing SOAP processors such as clients, servers, gateways, etc.

 

But Axis isn't just a SOAP engine -- it also includes:

• a simple stand-alone server,
• a server which plugs into servlet engines such as Tomcat,
• extensive support for the Web Service Description Language (WSDL),
• emitter tooling that generates Java classes from WSDL.
• some sample programs, and
• a tool for monitoring TCP/IP packets.
