I agree that dynamic endpoints are handy; .net remoting does it BTW, though that doesnt help.
why not look at what the Axis engine is up to and maybe call it directly? Adding an API to do everything seamlessly would be nice. -steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tuan Le Viet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 4:59 PM Subject: RE: Dynamic publishing > Grant, > > It's obviously your solution is a feasible work-around.
