Well, I sort of aware of that, but I'd like to know exactly how this can

Sort of. It's a system for exposing Cobol apps as web services. But for

Axis is complete overkill for this job.
You will increase complexity many times over and get the job done slower.
Do you want to use the XML to interact with web services?
