Hi, I am currently looking into a way of integrating Axis into a Cocoon based scenario. Basically this is what I want to do: Deploy a Java class into Axis that represents the functionality provided by Cocoon pipelines. If you are not familiar with Cocoon - just think: HTTP XML endpoints. When a SOAP request hits the Axis servlet this should be forwarded to the deployed Java class (no problem there). The Java class will then basically take the parameters from the function - serialize them into some XML format and send that out over HTTP to the Cocoon server. The returned data from the Cocoon pipeline (also XML) must then be returned to Axis for transfering as a SOAP message. So the deployed class would need to generate the return parameter from the XML it receives from Cocoon. Is this the easiest way of getting this to work? The overhead seems to be in serializing between the Java classes and the XML that Cocoon needs - when the SOAP messages already contain XML - although perhaps not in a way that's suited for further processing by Cocoon. The advantage to this method would be that the Cocoon functionality is represented by a Java class and we can generate WSDL etc. from that (something we could not do directly from the pipelines). Any suggestions welcome.
