Not to knock Axis, but, at least for me, I am checking out ksoap2. It's simple enough that I can send web service calls and only about 200K in size with the j2me/j2se library. I too am in the boat of not wanting to create lots of extra fluff.. just simply want to make about 10 or so web service calls that are simple... mostly one or two parameters. A couple will be full and return some data, but not too bad.
On the server side I am thinking Axis will work out well with Spring, but also looking into xFire if it will work or not. --- Dr Leinster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > > I had a look at axis 1.1 and still the size of the > libs needed is 2,13 Mo... > To me (in my case where I am only interested in the > client side) it looks like loads to do little. > This is perfectly understandable in a server > environment that does load of work, Webservices, > logging and the rest but a killer for client side. > The reason I'm not looking at another lighweight > WebService client API is that I am using some Axis > webservice client component distributed by the web > service provider. > Of course I could reimplement the client side using > some other WebService API but it would be highly > ineficient and somehow stupid... > > So I'm still left with the initial question... how > can I downsize Axis so that it dumps all the > server-side machinery. > > cheers, > > DrLeinster. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Dino Chiesa > To: [email protected] > Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 8:23 PM > Subject: RE: java stand-alone axis client > > > For AXIS 1.1, I think you need all the AXIS jars, > a xerces implementation, and a servlet.jar ? > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > From: Dr Leinster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 1:22 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: java stand-alone axis client > > > Hi, > > I want to use a light version of axis to call > webservices in a client = > application... > Size of the final application is an important > factor for me. > I am only interested in the client side of axis. > Is there a way to reduce the dependecies and axis > package size to only = > have what I need. > > thanks for your help. > > DrLeinster. > __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!
