Unfortunatley web services are slightly more complicated than
SimpleAxisServer and require a lot more configuration than coding in my
experience. I think the configuration deployment model of axis
(although) is flawed as the webservice is [typically] a sub component of
the axis engine (architecturally), where as you described a webservice
which is the primary component and passes all to axis engine for
soap/wsdl support.
Your best bet is to use axis2 for a more advanced deployment model but
slightly less stabilty than axis1_4.
I think the major problem here is oo component isolation, which makes it
very difficult to have a servlet that does web and wsdl in the case of a
dynamic web page/applet combination. There is no easy way to share the
session without middleware or database.
I urge you to consider using axis/web services soley as a means to
remote connect to session or entity EJBs.

Hi all,
I am new to Axis, but I know there have been some discussion on this
topic before:
is there a way to use Axis without an application server?
Yes, I have read the FAQ and got to know the SimpleAxisServer
(http://wiki.apache.org/ws/SimpleAxisServer), but it is not exactly what
I was looking for. I was thinking of something like an Axis API or even
an Axis servlet that I could use, for example, together with emebedded
Jetty in a standalone java application.
My point is that my WebServices shall be very simple and I am not
willing to use the whole complexity of SOAP and Axis (WSDL, Tomcat,
etc.). Apache XML-RPC fits perfectly for my needs, but SOAP is so
widespread that I am in doubt. Does anybody think XML-RPC could be a
better choice?
PS1.: Yes, I have seen two messages with the same subject in the
archives. One had no answer and the other one had a not convincing answer.
PS2.: JWS files do not seem a good option. They reduce complexity, but I
still need an application server.
Thanks in advance,
