Here's the link to the Sun EA product: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/jndi/
I'm just starting to look at the Sun provider docs, but haven't definitely got figured out whether they provide a ready-to-go SOAP message or not. Even if they do, I'm not sure how Axis would deal with that: it seems to be set up to do the serialization itself (but limited to basic types, arrays and javabeans unless you get into "custom" serializers.)
Anyhow, just trying to see if the work has been done before I try to re-invent the wheel. (Plus I'm not a black-belt programmer anyhow <g>.)
Let me know if you hear of something, will you?

DSMLv2 defines an XML-based LDAP interface. The XML interface can be
implemented using a variety of XML protocols, including SOAP. You might
think of it as a standard SOAP interface definition for an LDAP directory.
I'm not familiar with Sun's EA DSMLv2 provider. Does it provide a SOAP
interface? Does it supply you with a WSDL file? If so, you ought to be able
to generate an Axis client from the WSDL file.
If it doesn't provide a SOAP interface, perhaps you'd like to volunteer to
build one.

Subject: DSML activity?
Does Axis know about DSMLv2? Does it recognize BatchRequests, etc?
Serialize and de-serialize to corresponding JNDI objects? Is anyone
planning to do this?
I'm trying to make a web service from an existing LDAP directory, and
between the Sun DSMLv2 JNDI provider and the Axis handlers I thought it
might be mostly out-of-the-box.
TIA,
Martin
