?WSDL is more 'typical' than 'standard'. .NET uses it, Axis uses it. Does anything else matter? :-)
But seriously, WSDL is available for a given web service at a given URL. The publisher of the web service publishes the URL, and you should in no way depend on that URL having anything to do with the service. In fact it has been pointed out to axis users that if the WSDL that Axis generates is not right, you can provide your own WSDL file at a different location and publish that. -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia -----Original Message----- From: Tom Myers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 10:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: JWS && WSDL Bill Dimmick asked > Does Axis currently support the following? > > http://foo.bar.com:8080/axis/SOAPService.jws?wsdl and Tom Jordahl wrote: >Yes.

I moved from Apache SOAP to Axis, and was thinking of ?wsdl as an Axis feature rather than as a general convention -- is it, so to speak, interoperable? Tom Myers
