Hi  Steve;

IF there is an application server(Say that any SOAP Engine)can't we say that
it is an app server?

I use have used AdminClient but mostly I do it manually with out using
AdminClient!My problem was
if the SOAP Engine can  send SOAP attachments and if we can publish
AdminClient as a Web server then we can use a "SOAP attachment" to send
necessary files to correct location!to deploy a service.Can't we?If how it
is applicable in Axis Java?

By the way Steve; Say that I have a SOAP Engine that is *not* suppoting with
SOAP Attachments.What would be the method to Autoupload files with a higer
security?Base64?
Thanx
