The thing I found really compelling about Sun's solution is it can be run on any application server. Using Axis or WebLogic or any other leaves you with a service that runs on only that application server.

Thanks for looking for me Mark. My schedule was really crowded that week. I didn't realize ahead of time that Addison-Wesley would be participating in the "Meet the Author" event, so I didn't save time for it in my schedule.

I was at JavaOne as well and I got the distinct impression that JWSDP (project, not "kit") is not ready for prime time yet. Sun is continuing to merge jws into jsdk 5.0 (not 1.5 anymore) and j2ee 5.0. Further, have you ever tried to use the jwsdp? Try just getting through the tutorial in less than a week! Axis internalizes many of the details the developer must provide using jwsdp, details that we should not have to worry about. Mark PS - saw a couple of your books in the bookstore, Anne...why weren't you there for "Meet the Author?" :-) -----Original Message----- From: Anne Thomas Manes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 9:50 AM Sun's JSWDK runs only on the latest version of Tomcat. It does not run on "any other application server". -----Original Message----- From: David Thielen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 5:06 PM I'm at JavaOne and so have not had a chance to download it. But it looks like Sun's wsjdk gives you everything you need to run web services on tomcat or any other application server. In this case, what is axis needed for?
