is it a must??

["Koney, Satish" <Sa...@syntelinc.com>]

If I develop a web service using axis, SHOULD the axis be deployed as web
application in the server ??
or is there any other way?

Thanks,
SSSS

note that this is said to be experimental only:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?SimpleAxisServer

so I guess you should use with care.

I don't thinkA hat's strictly true. 

Axis has a local transport, which bypasses HTTP. And SOAP is transport
neutral. In theory you could do SOAP over SMTP, for instance, although
I don't know if Axis supports that. Axis also has a built in simple
HTTP server if you don't want to set up Tomcat yourself.

In practice, yes, you want Axis in a servlet container.

It's the way it works. It's a servlet, so you need a servlet container, 
such as tomcat.
