Apache SOAP vs AXIS
We are in the process of putting out infrastructure on the webservice front.
I need to prepare a report (a little high level )about what are the
difference between the two most common systems used to access the SOAP.
The Apache SOAP and the AXIS. Can anyone help me with this research and
compile a document with the difference between the same and characteristics
of each one of them.
It will be a great help.
Thanx in advance . I will compile the document and put it some where to be
used ... if anybody ever needs it ...!! If there is an exsisting one already
there kindly redirect me to the URL
Thanx in advance.

I hate to break it to you, but Microsoft .NET and Microsoft SOAP Toolkit are
the two most common systems used to access SOAP.
I agree that Axis is the most commonly used SOAP implementation for Java. I
don't think Apache SOAP fits in that category anymore, though. Use of Apache
SOAP has definitely dropped off since Axis was released. Other very popular
Java SOAP implementations include IBM WSTK (based on Axis), Systinet WASP,
The Mind Electric GLUE, and IONA XMLBus. I suspect that BEA, Borland (based
on Axis), Oracle, and Marcomedia (based on Axis) have a pretty significant
share also.
Here's a quick comparison between Apache SOAP and Axis:
SOAP Axis
---- ----
really old third generation
really slow much faster, but not as fast as many
no WSDL support WSDL support
proprietary API JAX-RPC API
RPC/encoded only RPC/encoded and Doc/literal
interoperability issues very interoperable
extensiblity issues very extensible
low level API for headers easy handler support for headers
In other words, don't even consider using SOAP.
