Hi, It can be any of the mentioned methods which is not clear right now. For time being it is assumed to proceed that ip based authentication will be used. I cannot even proceed with handlers now. Because when the client request is not able to find the target webservice in the requested server, it immediately gets a response stating that the requested service is not found. I am not sure about the way to proceed with axis now.
As I was on leave,I could not reply immediately. :(( Regards, Shobha Rani J > -----Original Message----- > From: Toshiyuki Kimura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 2:38 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: SOAP request redirection > > > Hi Shobha, > > What kind of authentication do you wish ?
