O.K. so I have found the W3C's SOAP email binding stuff at: http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-email
and they say it is only for discussion. (plus I don't completely understand it all) For lack of a better solution I was planning to write something that checks a mailbox every so often (using javamail), and when it finds a message 1) checks the signature <- I don't want just anyone emailing my server soap commands 2) feeds the Soap envelope to axis. now, I am curious about a couple things 1) what is the best way to feed the soap envelope to axis? I could form a http request and feed it in that way easy enough, but perhaps there is a better way. 2) what would be the best way in the email to define which soap service this message is for? I suppose I could place the service name in the subject line. but again perhaps there is a better way. Anyone with any ideas? Ken, I searched developer works, but your paper apparently hasn't been published yet. If you are able to distribute the paper, I would like to read it. -jason On Friday, October 4, 2002, at 10:52 AM, Steve Loughran wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ken Hygh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 12:58 PM > Subject: Re: SOAP over SMTP/POP > > >> I just submitted a paper to IBM DeveloperWorks about an implementation >> I've done, doing both raw SMTP as well as polling a POP server, and >> passing the emails on to Axis.
