The remote model you are talking about cannot be achieved without introducing a level of dependency to server. This would be against one of the golden principles of web service which entirely de-couples client from server.

No-one ever said they wouldn't be URLs, of course! My current experience (none yet with Axis) was that the frameworks offered little to register a new URLs with some methods of an object you have created. Returning an iterator sort of object is what you need, for example, if you want to deliver a large (or slow) content as chunks. That doesn't seem like a killer or even like doing Corba but it doesn't seem to be such common practice. paul Le 15 déc. 04, à 10:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : > When one is talking about exchanging messages, using XML, between > different platform technologies and across a range of possible > transports, it's not hard to see that remote references, other than > URLs, are not likely to be supported any time soon.
