Here you have to keep in mind that your service interface (request and response message formats) should be declared in the wsdl. Basically what ever the client get to know about the expected request format using the wsdl. Therefore if you write a service with Axiom the correct contract may not be displayed in the wsdl. So that may cause some problems. Therefore it is better to use the wsdl2java tool (contract first is the recommended way) or POJO to increase the interoperability. thanks, Amila. > >> > Nop. your client can be .NET and what goes over the wire is XML, that is > the whole point of Web services. > > Another question is that if the I choose to use rampart for user >> authentication, does this require the client to use rampart as well? >> >> > > Nop, but the client needs to send user auth headders somehow. > > Samisa... > > thanks /dan >> >> > > > -- > Samisa Abeysinghe > > http://people.apache.org/~samisa/ <http://people.apache.org/%7Esamisa/> > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- Amila Suriarachchi, WSO2 Inc.
