I can see the appeal of exposing the web application's code as web services using Axis. It seems like exposing Action classes directly as web services will be more trouble than it's worth. It would seem better to move the code in the Action class into another class (not tied to Struts/Web)

If we start with the idea [Kevin's suggestion] that on the Axis side we develop a Web Service that accepts SOAP Requests with an XML payload and spins that payload into an HTTP POST/GET to a Struts Application as if that POST or GET was coming from a Web Browser. Then we need not make any changes

*FridayModeOn* Axis and Struts, like ice cream and sex, are both good things, but I don't see much benefit to combining them. I think it depends on the flavor of the Ice Cream... ;-) *FridayModeOff* Is the idea behind Axis for Struts to expose Action classes as Web Services? Yes.

True. But somehow, to leverage what struts really is, you would need to communicate some kind of instructions from the server side controller. I think the core of what I am saying is that Axis does *not* provide a view. And therefore you would have controller functions on the other side of the
