I need to create some webservice using Open Source server which implements webservices specification. I saw Axis on Apache website, but its just SOAP engine.Which open source application server is recommened for implementing webservices???
There is no single "web services specification", there is a full range range of standards and specifications. Are there some particular ones that you need supported?
What do you mean by "Axis is just a SOAP engine"? What do you reckon is the difference between a "SOAP engine" and "web service server"?
If for some reason Axis is indeed not sufficient, you can use JAX-WS, either by using GlassFish or Tomcat.
Hi,Thanks. I am new to webservices,SOAP etc.I need to deploy the webservice and test it.Is Axis sufficuent? or do I need additional components like Tomcat etc?Is Axis j2EE server? Thanks
Axis is not a J2EE server, it is a web application. As such, it is most commonly run inside of a servlet container (like Tomcat). It does include a simple server that does not require a servlet container, though; look for "Standalone Server" in the installation guide.
