Hi, You can call it like a local java method if your web service and your client application are in the same servlet. But why do you want to do this? Performance issue? Maintenance issue? Ressource sharing? Tony.From: jcari...@whisolutions.com To: java-user@axis.apache.org Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:54:42 -0400 Subject: RE: Can an Axis Webservice be called just like a local method?
We have an application that exposes both web services and web pages. The web pages create request objects and call the service object directly, skipping the entire Soap/Rest/XML layer. We can do this easily, since we have deployed Axis2 with Spring, and our web page has access (via dependency injection) to the same service object that is used by Axis2. I’m not sure if this fits for you, but it works in our situation. It’s a little risky, since it would be possible to create an invalid request object that doesn’t follow the XML schema rules present in WSDL. Validation in the business layer and good unit test coverage minimizes the risk, but adds coding/maintenance overhead.

Hi All: We have implemented our own module which is engaged when invoking a Webservice. This Webservice serves its purpose for external clients. However for client applications that run within the same host, (to avoid network hop) we would like to invoke this Webservice as a local/Java method call and we want the module to be invoked too. Is there a way to do this? thanks, -- Yashwanth STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY: The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
