I think you are quite right in that if you are building some kinds of applications you might want to make the Axis layer integration at another level, and not use Axis4Struts, but on the other hand if you have 95% of your application accessors via users on web browsers and 5% a subset of requests from other applications....Axis4Struts might just be the best way to do it all around. If you are building an application that is 95% web services and 5% Users on web browsers then build it with Axis first and read kevin's Chapter 19. Some place in between those extremes it will become a toss up which way to go.

Assuming that you meant "Joe, you answered your own question," I should clarify -- I accept the idea that struts might be a handy single controller for browser views and web-service views. My question was "what's the rationale for deploying Struts and Axis in separate web applications." It seems to me like it adds complexity and overhead in trade for a flexibility which may not be all that necessary. If you needed Struts to be in a separate web app from Axis, then in that case I would just use Axis to generate stubs from WSDL and use the stubs in Struts (or below it in the model layer) to talk to Axis.
