Hi, We're evaluating Axis2 compatibility with Axis 1.4. I've reviewed the mailing list for previous questions and responses on this and wanted to make sure my understanding is correct on the following.
With respect to document-oriented web services (DOWS) (I know RPC is a completely different issue), if we migrate our web services from Axis 1.4 to Axis2 can we leave our existing Axis 1.4-based clients as-is and not require any changes to them or the WSDL they use? My understanding is that we wouldn't have to change them since WSDL and SOAP isolate the client from the Axis2 implementation. If that's the case, then what about if our web service consumption is within a J2EE container? That is, we have our application in one ear file and the Axis2 servlet in another ear file in the same container; our application invokes a web service, which is ultimately processed via the servlet back to the same ear file. This entry (http://marc.info/?l=axis-user&m=118658180719352&w=2) warns about mixing the two, but in this case they're in two separate ears.
