Re: Best IDE to use for Axis

I haven't seen much on this topic. If it was discussed well, I must have missed it. The one reference I found to using Axis with NetBeans was http://cropcrusher.web.infoseek.co.jp/shufujava/wserv/axisnb4_en.html which I didn't find particularly helpful -- probably because something was lost in translation.

In the best of all possible worlds, it would be possible flawlessly to integrate Axis with any IDE. In the real world it seems to me that the NetBeans community is ignoring Axis as a viable alternative to the Sun server and that the Axis community has little use for NetBeans. I have been working with NetBeans 4.0 [for various reasons 4.1 is not currently an option] and Axis for about a month and have found it possible to get them to play together reasonably well but it wasn't easy. The steps I followed were:

Setting up the Axis jars as a NetBeans Library resolves classpath issues;
Changing the default version of Ant to be the one that comes with Axis provides useful tasks;
Creating a separate axis.properties file under nbproject;
Adding task definitions to build.xml;

Adding tasks to build.xml to use the task defs as needed.

I'm still undecided about whether to use the JWSDP or Axis. Having gotten Axis working, I'm not currently inclined to delve into JWSDP until I feel more comfortable with Web Services in general.

It used to be that machines automated work, giving us more time to do other things. But now machines automate the production of attention-consuming information, which takes our time. For example, if one person sends the same e-mail message to 10 people, then 10 people have to respond.
