I'm really not aware of any. Hmmmmm.... Most require some sort of registration to be able to track it and also prevent various kinds of attacks. > I can probably host a simple web service on Google App Engine, Well, it wouldn't be able to be written with JAX-WS as the jaxws packages are firewalled in GAE. You could write a simple servlet that "mimics" a webservice as that would probalby work. The simple CXF frontend MIGHT work, I haven't really tried. > if I need to > (and may do that anyway), but does anyone know of a simple, free, > registration-free & publicly available web service I could otherwise use? Another option: we could ask for a zone at Apache and install and manage a tomcat instance or similar that that we could deploy our own sample services. If you are interested in pursuing that, I'd be happy to put in a request.
