Not sure what you mean by Axis not supporting intermediaries. You can certainly route messages to and from Axis through intermediaries. Typically today, most people use a web services management (WSM) or enterprise service bus (ESB) product to implement intermediaries. These intermediary products are typically configured as proxies to a service, and the service endpoint is modified to point to the intermediary.
WS-Addressing defines a standard mechanism to specifiy intermediary routing information. this spec is currently being developed at W3C. The Apache Addressing incubator project (http://ws.apache.org/ws-fx/addressing/) is implementing support for WS-Addressing. - anne On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 14:44:52 -0600, Jason Judt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I was curious about SOAP Intermediaries.
