Hi Anne,
Fair enough and thanks agan :) ... I also think J2EE is overkill. Now,
what
versino of Tomcat should I use? 5.5 is the one I downloaded, but it seems
from the axis documentation they recomend 4.1. In any way it seems that
configuring and deploying in Solaris are the trickiest parts of all this.
The systinet idea was already explored here, but I guess they want to go
on
the cheap. I guess it is up to me to prove that this can be done in a
fairly
reasonable amount of time and with the smallest impact to the current
implementation.
Thanks in advance,
--Luis R.
