Anyway, I found above open source product to be powerfull, and if some other's are frustrated w/ Axis, they have an Open Source alternative.
Hessian doesn't do the same as Axis, thus it is not an alternative.
Um. No. That's not a valid argument in any way shape or form - both Axis and Hessian are generic tools, they can be used for a number of things. It's entirely possible that there are Axis users who, for their particular use, woudld be better served by something like Hessian and presumably the converse also applies.
If your requirements are a complete match to Axis's feature set then it's unlikely that any other produce will be a direct alternative, but I suspect you'd be in the minority. Different things are important to different people, I for one would switch instantly to any toolkit which did dynamic invocation of services using complex types in the way I want it to work, but that's quite specific to my field.
