RE: Webservice with XML input parameter

Hi Ephemeris,

There are many ways communicating between client and servers, with or without xml, soap. like RMI, dcom. I used a product called Tibco transfer messages between servers.

The good thing about soap was its service can be (or should be) used by many business applications once it was written. That's why web services and soap were so powerful and popular. If you use only one language or one platform, you can have more straightforward way in programming without xml or soap.

Doy you really need soap, end thus axis ?
Do you know you can invoke any kind of service over HTTP without axis or soap, and also without xml.
If you need a lightweight protocol you can use xml-rpc...
In my opinion, jsp, or php, or any other kind of web scripting pages must not handle application logic, and should always delegate it to a separate layer. Beyond a more suitable design, this brings a lot of benefits, such as unit testing facilities...
The good thing with soap and axis is precisely that you don't have to handle xml translations and encodings, since these well specified operations can be automated by tools and libraries. If these protocols don't meet your needs, don't use them...
But i'm afraid you're going to work a lot...

Hi Anne,
To me, pass xml as a string input is very important. If I call a web service from a JSP, PHP, ASPX or other client applications, I don't want write functions inside these pages or client applications to parse the string to xml dom.
I rather like web service handle it. Besides, to parse a xml string, I may not want use dom but sax. So I like web service taking xml string as an option, just for convenience of applications.
