Hi Fan, I apologise i didn't return to your question before. Your question wasn't clear to me at that time but i think you wanted us to compare usage (in taverna) of web services developed/deployed using Soaplab and JAX-WS. This is a difficult question to answer, it depends on the interface and implementation of the JAX-WS version of the web services. As you pointed 'polling' support in Taverna Soaplab plugin is a plus for Soaplab web services. I didn't understand your point related to the variables.
I apologise again that i still haven't made Soaplab2 plugin ready for taverna-2. However while returning home yesterday i realised that the xsd:extend problem in Taverna only breaks the runAndWaitFor method but other methods in Soaplab typed interface are still usable in Taverna-2, such as, one can use the 'run' method and then can call the 'waitfor' method using the jobid returned. In summary if you enable typed interface in your Soaplab installation (which is available since version 2.2) you should be able to use your Soaplab web services in taverna-2. If the Soaplab2 services was deployed using the axis1 option they are also recognised by the existing Soaplab plugin in taverna-2. Regards, Mahmut (i bcc this message to two persons that they have also asked about soaplab2 pluging in taverna2 in the past) > I have one more question about using soaplab - though this is > a bit off the topic of this thread - with respect to soaplab and JAXWS web > services, what advantage you think each of these two has over the other?
