Broadcasting SOAP messages to multiple receivers (SOAP publish-subscribe messaging)

[Michael Woinoski <mi...@pineneedleconsulting.com>]

I need to deploy a SOAP application that behaves like the JMS publish-subscribe 
model. The sender will broadcast the same SOAP message to multiple subscribers. 
  A subscriber will deploy a callback service and includes a callback URL in its 
initial subscription request. Update messages will be sent periodically, the 
update period may be fairly short (e.g., every 5 seconds), and there may be many 
subscribers, so performance is a concern.

Does Axis support a message broadcast mechanism? If not, is it possible to use a 
JMS Topic to send SOAP messages over HTTP for non-Java subscribers? Are there 
any libraries other than JMS that support this interaction model?

Thanks,
Mike
