Why AXIS instead of Sun's Web Services SDK?

Hi;

I'm at JavaOne and so have not had a chance to download it. But it looks like Sun's wsjdk gives you everything you need to run web services on tomcat or any other application server.

In this case, what is axis needed for?

thanks - dave

Well, for those running other application servers that only need the 
J2SE free environment.

For me, that means WebObjects.

I tried Sun's Web Service Development Kit before, and felt absolutely 
clueless.  I actually got a service working but I had no idea what was 
going on.

To me, Axis is *much* simpler.  I write my classes, write the *.wsdd 
file,  deploy them as services, and there's my WSDL.
It really made me wonder why Sun's techniques are so complicated...  but 
perhaps I am missing something.

Sun's JSWDK runs only on the latest version of Tomcat. It does not run on
"any other application server".

In this case, what is axis needed for?
