Does anyone use the message style services in AXIS or is every one using RPC style only?

[Thomas Forrester <tf...@dbconcert.com>]

Does anyone out there use the message style services?

I am coming to the impression that nobody uses these methods, everyone
uses the RPC style.

Is this the case, if so what do people use for Message style web
services, the JAAXM API's in the JWSDP possibly?
I would appreciate some dialog on this subject to get on the right
track.
I am of the feeling that if I use the JWSDP API's that both Server and
Client have to have be developed with them (but not sure of my ground
here).

I have looked into the AXIS message service, but have not been able to
get much further than the sing SOAPBodyElement example, and there seems
to be little or no other information out there.

The message style signatures mentioned in the Axis User Guide are:
public Element [] method(Element [] bodies);
public SOAPBodyElement [] method (SOAPBodyElement [] bodies);
public Document method(Document body);
public void method(SOAPEnvelope req, SOAPEnvelope resp);

Any help in this direction will be very welcome.

Message style web service seem best for my problem area, which is to
create a server that polls a database for info, when found that info is
sent to a web service as an XML document, and the server deals with any
SOAP faults in the response.

Thanks,

Tom

Perhaps this paper can give you guys some help on evaluating Web
Services implementations.

Hi Tom,

I have to agree wholeheartedly on this.  Almost every reference guide,
tutorial, and document seem to be organized around RPC (which also seems
to have limited/harder use, especially when complex messages are needed...
nested tags, attributes, etc.)

Thank you,
