Tom, Thank you for the link. I've been reading a book titled "Building Web Services with Java". Your link is to an on-line book titled "Building Web Services with VB". It should provide an interesting alternative view.
The VB author promotes the use of SOAP messaging but discourages the use of SOAP RPC in favor of platform specific RPC technologies. I wonder how many Axis users support that point of view and how many oppose it. http://www.learnxmlws.com/tutors/rpcmsg/rpcmsg.aspx Are there any Axis users out there that want to offer an opinion? Please see the above link to understand the VB author's point of view.

For example, if you have a B2B application and you want to submit a purchase order to a vendor, then you would want to pass your PO as a message. On the other hand, if you just wanted to invoke a method, then you would use RPC. You might want to provide a description of your application if you want to get additional help from other users on this mail list. I'm new to SOAP so I'm probably not the best source of detailed information.

Can anyone help me to clarify this? Best Regards Hoa
