Anne,
Thanks for the information.
Just to probe a little further so that I understand the process correctly, I am assuming that on Axis side I will have to use Java to WSDL to generate WSDL for the EJB and provide the WSDL to windows client with the assumption that toolkits like MS SOAP Toolkit will offer WSDL to C++ binding and generate the client side stubs in C++ (similar to IDL in Corba).
Can you please confirm that my understanding is correct or not.
Feel free to suggest.
Thanks again,
Ajay

Ajay,
You can certainly consume an Axis service from a Windows-based C++ client -- you just can't write that C++ client using Axis. You will need to use a different Web services platform to build your clients. Your choice of tool depends on what C++ tool you're using? If you're using Visual C++ .NET, then you should use .NET. If you're using Borland C++ Builder, then you should use Borland's Web services tool. If you're using Visual C++ V6, then you have a pretty wide choice -- MS SOAP Toolkit, PocketSOAP, WhiteMesa, Systinet WASP for C++, etc.

Subject: Question regarding a webservice on Axis+Jboss for C++ client on windows
I am a newbie so this may be a basic question.
I would like to publish an EJB based webservice on Axis+JBoss and the consumer of the webservice is going to be a windows C++ application. In Axis user guide, I saw examples of java clients but I did not find any documentation on C++ clients so I am wondering if it is possible to consume Axis webservice from a windows C++ client? If it is possible, I would also like to know if there are any limitations (or things to be aware of) in that approach. Any pointers to documentation/samples that can help me in this approach would be a great help.
Thanks in advance,
Ajay
