Just tunning the terminology - You can expose an EJB (at least one type) as WebService in Axis.
Lets assume you run Axis under web-container JVM - EJB run under app-server (same or other) JVM - then all you need is Webservice deployment as java:EJB in Axis services.wsdd. When you call above Web Service deployed in Axis - you should use SOAP-RPC client calls. Axis will lookup for the EJB and discover/call its methods - much like you would use EJB home and remote Interfaces to access the EJBs from your Java code. In such case, if thats what you meant, the SOAP server automatically exposes the EJB as Webservice, so Axis is not obsolete.

Hi, is there anyone, who can explain me, how to use axis with EJB's 2.1? AFAIK on the serverside there are the possibilities: 1.) use a servlet, which calls a session bean 2.) use the endpoint interface of a session bean directly does 2.) mean that axis is obsolte on the serverside? or is it possible to configure axis to call the endpoint interface of a sessionbean? it would be very nice, if someone could give me a glue! thanks andreas
