I've seen several approaches, using Apache Axis, Apache SOAP, or the Java Web Services kit. I'm a little unsure which one would be the best (read: simplest) to learn on. All I really want to do is experiment with XML RPC calls to localhost. I need to figure out if the Java kit from Sun is best, which wraps RPC calls into JAXRPC, or to stick with the Apache SOAP implementation, with either SOAP or Axis. The approaches are quite different, so I'd rather just learn one or the other right now. I'm having trouble with the Java config.xml and web.xml setups, and getting Tomcat to load the servers. Does anyone have any suggestions? jm -- Java on a laptop: the JIT hits the fan. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
