I think the next question is that :
- How much the client application has to know that the server side is implemented with Axis2 ? How advance features of the Axis2 can be used in web service impl. but still stay "compatible" with other WS-Client frameworks ? One example comes in my mind that would break the compatibility easily : Using SOAP Session scope for session management in Axis2 server side requires both client and service to be aware of the session. Because if the client wants to live in the same session it has to send an additional reference parameter back and forth (serviceGroupId -which is generated by the axis2 service and sent to client when the Session is initiated for the first time) in the SOAP header.

You can call your Axis2 WS by browser, like this. http://localhost:8080/axis2/rest/(your-service)/(method)?var1=abc If your service needs simple input parameters only, this way is useful. 2) TCPmon download from http://www.apache.org/dist/ws/commons/tcpmon/1_0/ You can send SOAP request, if you can write SOAP request XML by hand. 3) .NET Web Reference I sometimes use VisualStudio .NET. With Web Reference, it's easy to call WS. 4) using perl with SOAP::Lite You can call WS from perl with SOAP::Lite module. I think this way is difficult a little bit. SOAP::Lite spec is NOT easy to understand, I feel.
