Hi, SimpleAxisServer is a simple (as the name already tells you ;-) ) transport implementation. You just have to create a server socket and pass it to the server. You can create this transport implementation in your own app without using a servlet engine. The standard transport implemenation is based on servlets which is used by maybe 99% of the all users. But axis was designed to be independent of the way soap messages are transported. So, in theory you could build your own transport implemenation which uses smtp/pop3, or whatever protocol you want. AFAK, in the near future there shall be a standalone version of axis which can be used in a production environment. But I have no idea when this will be realized.
Hope this helps Stefan -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Anand Hatwalne [mailto:anand_hatwalne@;persistent.co.in] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 24.

There's a lightweight "web server" (only HTTP) in Axis (Class: org.apache.axis.transport.http.SimpleAxisServer). However the source of the above class says that it's not for production use. And I am not sure how one can use Axis without a servlet container. Anyone knows? -----Original Message----- From: Francois Swiegers [mailto:FSwiegers@;RUBICO.COM] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Does Axis include a lightweight standalone server? I want to expose an application as a web service, but I want to keep the installation dependencies to a minimum. Does Axis include a light weight web server that can be used to expose web services, without having a servlet container like Tomcat installed? If so, where can I find info on how to use it?
