Message based web services

[Manu George]

Hi,
         I have a query regarding Axis. In Axis we can deploy message based web services with a WSDD as shown below

<deployment
       xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
       xmlns:java="
http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance
">
  <service name="CatalogPublisherService" provider="java:MSG">
    <parameter name="className"
      value="xyz"
     />

    <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="publishCatalog"/>
  </service>
</deployment>

Is it possible to do this in the geronimo axis implementation?  Also is this feature of axis an implementation of any Java spec?
Also the axis site says that it supports transports other than http. Is this supported in Geronimo?

Thanks in Advance
Manu
