<section><title>Apache Axis1 Overview</title><p>Axis is the third generation | |
of the Apache SOAP implementation. It evolved from Apache SOAP to make the | |
SOAP engine more flexible, configurable, and able to handle both SOAP and | |
the upcoming XML Protocol specification from the W3C open-source effort. Axis | |
is based on JSR 101 <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc." | |
tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> APIs for XML based RPC (also known | |
as JAX-RPC). JSR 101 provides a single interface to any XML-based RPC mechanism, | |
including SOAP.</p><p>Web services application server uses Axis within a servlet | |
to process the incoming message, extract information from the message headers, | |
and payloads, as well as conforming to the particular RPC semantics. </p></section> | |
