You should be able to use Axis as a client to Apache SOAP without too much
trouble. Axis will give you much better support for timeouts and faults.

Hi Anne,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the web-service I'll be using was
built with Apache SOAP. Does that mean I should also use Apache SOAP as a
client, or I can still use Axis? Would Axis provide better support for what
I mentioned in my other thread (Timeouts, errors or failures)?

Most new users use Apache Axis rather than Apache SOAP.
Development work on Apache SOAP pretty much stopped about 2.5 years ago when
the development team decided to start from scratch and rearchitect the code
base in order to properly implement support for WSDL, and they started the
Axis project. Unless you have the need to support existing Web services
developed with Apache SOAP, I suggest you start with Apache Axis.

See http://ws.apache.org/axis/.

The axis-user list is very active.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this list, and it seems that there's almost no activity at all on
the list. Is this list still active?

Thanks,
