Hi zog, Thanks for the feedback.
I feel that the advantage of WSIF is that it can generate SOAP messages directly from WSDL, in contrast to Axis which requires the extra step of WSDL2Java to be executed. And I don't believe Apache SOAP has any WSDL support at all. WSIF also has a very nice interface - (again in comparison to Axis) no stubs strictly required, and no deployment - a distinct advantage. In regards to the parsing of the message, I don't believe your comment below is the case. The reason for this is that I have a vanilla Web Server (no Axis no Apache SOAP) firing back a SOAP response to the DynamicInvoker, I can see that the response information has been taken out, and returned (in the WSIFMessage variable) correctly. Therefore the WSIF piece _must_ do some level of parsing of the SOAP message. Does this make sense?
