The intention -is to create a more modular, more flexible, and higher-performing SOAP -implementation (relative to Apache SOAP 2.0). -</blockquote> -<i>Why call it "Axis"?</i> -<blockquote> -The name "Axis" was chosen because, when the project started, the XML Protocol -working group had not chosen a name for its protocol. -The intent was for Axis to support SOAP 1+, XML-RPC, and XMLP (whatever it wound -up being called), so calling it "Apache SOAP 3.0" would have missed the mark. -Recently, the XML Protocol working group decided to retain the -SOAP name, so perhaps it would have been better to keep Axis as part of the Apache -SOAP project. C'est la vie. -<p> -(According to the README, AXIS stands for "Apache eXtensible Interaction System", -which could mean almost anything.) -</blockquote> -<i>Is Axis close to a release of some kind?</i> -<blockquote> -Yes, depending on who you ask :-) The current code base already supports most -of the standard interop tests. There are a fairly large number of features -remaining to be implemented (including SOAP attachments support, WSDL, SMTP, -etc.), but work is underway on those, and it is likely there will be an alpha -release (missing many of those features) in the very near future (as of -13 July 2001). -</blockquote> -<i>What is Axis's status overall?</i> -<blockquote> -To keep track of Axis's progress: -<li><a href="http://www.apache.org/~rubys/ApacheClientInterop.html";>Sam Ruby's Axis/SOAP interop page</a></li> -<li><a href="http://xml.apache.org/websrc/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/xml-axis/java/docs/requirements.html?content-type=text/html";>The requirements & status page.</a></li> -</blockquote> -<i>Why do some classes fail to load under Tomcat?</i> -<blockquote> -Tomcat will not load classes with package names starting "java." or "javax." from the WEB-INF -directory. jars containing such classes need to be installed in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib -rather than in WEB-INF/lib. Currently (21 Feb. 2002), axis.jar is such a jar. -</blockquote> -<i>What if I can't find the answer to my question here?</i> -<blockquote> -Try the <a href="mail.html" target="body">mailing lists</a>. -</blockquote> -<i>How do report bugs</i> -<blockquote> -See <a href="bugs.html" target="body">bugs</a>. -</blockquote> +<p>These questions seem to be frequently asked: +<ul> +<li><a href="#faq1">What is Axis?
