So how do you get a portable web service?

[David Thielen]

Hi all;   Ok, so if the JWSDK requires it’s server on any app server. (I had thought it was needed for development, but not for deployment.) And axis requires itself to be installed on any app server. Then is there any way to deliver a truly portable web service that can run on any app server without requiring additional libraries?   It seems to me the answer may be to write a servlet that reads and writes SOAP. Then it would be something that can just be copied to any app server?   This portability is critical in my case because I am writing a library that we sell to numerous companies, all running different app servers. So we can’t require a specific setup.   ??? – thanks – dave   Ps – this is such a piece of cake in the .net world. Of course, their only app server is IIS.
