Servlet Options
I have an interesting situation were I am interested in not necessarily
running a soap service on a central server but possibly on individual
client machines. This client soap service would act as a gateway to
local machine functionality and other local LAN capability. I was
wondering if anyone knows of any lighter weight servlet options other
than tomcat. Can I expose Apache SOAP via some other mechanism that
would not have such a large footprint on the client machine? I need
something very light weight that can handle the soap calls. I would be
curios to here suggestions. Has anyone else out there tried to do this?
Thanks a lot
Jared

I don't know if you're set on using open source software, but
you might want to check out GLUE, from The Mind Electric at
http://www.themindelectric.com/ - it's free, and personally, I find it much
easier to use than Apache SOAP 2. It has a lot of the advanced features of
Axis.
It has the ability to run in its own servlet container.

I'd be interested in this info too since we are about to do the same thing.
I was planning on writing the client side portion using the apache soap
stuff, but without tomcat (don't really even know if I can do it that way)
Do a search on Sourceforge.net for java soap, there are about 6 listed.
