David, you may be understating the problem a bit. Building interoperable, WS-I compliant SOAP services with Axis is a little involved.

Especially if one of the existing axis examples implementes that method - then you can just point at that. thanks - dave ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Nelson Minar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2004 09:01:42 -0700 >HG writes: >>I can see that Axis 1.2 is alpha...Anyone knows of the beta or final >>release plans..? > >There is a beta, but for some inexplicable reason it's not visible on >the site.
