Re: Client side AXIS without application server

[to...@gsk.com]

Axis can be used on the client, or the server, or both. So you should have 
no problem. There is no real installation to do, on the client. Just use 
the axis.jar file, plus some associated jar files, that come with the 
distribution, and program as normal. You can either generate client code 
using the WSDL2Java tool, which comes with Axis, or use the Service class, 
instantiating with the WSDL file/URL and then working with a Call object, 
that the Service can generate.

Take a look at the Axis documentation, there should be client examples in 
there somewhere.
