So how do you get a portable web service?

[David Thielen <da...@windward.net>]

Hi all;

 

Ok, so if the JWSDK requires it's server on any app server. (I had thought
it was needed for development, but not for deployment.) And axis requires
itself to be installed on any app server. Then is there any way to deliver a
truly portable web service that can run on any app server without requiring
additional libraries?

 

It seems to me the answer may be to write a servlet that reads and writes
SOAP. Then it would be something that can just be copied to any app server?

 

This portability is critical in my case because I am writing a library that
we sell to numerous companies, all running different app servers. So we
can't require a specific setup.

Ps - this is such a piece of cake in the .net world. Of course, their only
app server is IIS.
