Apache SOAP with websphere 6.1

[Kris Bal]

I want to use Apache SOAP in websphere 6.1 since we will be reusing the framework developed already using Apache SOAP.This has been implemented only with weblogic previously.
Now we are trying to use this in combination with websphere 6.1,Is this supported?

[Ulf Dittmer]

Apache SOAP is a standard web app, so any container that supports the servlet API should be able to run it, including WebSphere, WebLogic, Tomcat and plenty of others. Did you encounter problems when you installed it in WebSphere?

By the way, Apache SOAP is way, waaaay obsolete, and Apache Axis is the way to go for many excellent reasons, but I'm sure you already know that.

Kris - I already answered your Q at TSS ......if you didn't check up there, here it is again.....

As of WAS v 6.1, yes, you can use it, but it's preferred you don't, since I believe it's planed to remove it in any future release since it has been deprecated since WAS v 5.0.2

Also you can use the Apache SOAP Engine downloaded from Apache, but then that falls out of IBM WebSphere support umbrella....

Hope this helps to make your way.....
