| <h1 class="topictitle1">Creating Web services with the Apache Axis run-time environment</h1> |
| <div><p>This run-time environment is for users who prefer to develop for |
| the open Apache Axis platform. It is for non-production use only. Axis is |
| the third generation of the Apache SOAP implementation. It evolved from |
| Apache SOAP (which began at IBM<sup>®</sup> as SOAP4J) 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.</p> |
| <div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Overview</h4><p>Axis is based on JSR 101 Java 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> |
| <p>The level of Axis currently supported |
| by Rational Developer products is 1.0. For more information on Axis, |
| refer to <a href="http://xml.apache.org/axis" target="_blank">http://xml.apache.org/axis</a>. |
| The User's Guide available on this site provides more in-depth information |
| about using Web services with Apache Axis. The Reading Guide lists several |
| documents to further your understanding of Axis.</p> |
| <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The support for |
| Axis in Rational Developer products is limited to validation that the application |
| is invoking the Axis emitters correctly. Support for other Axis issues should |
| be directed to <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis" target="_blank">http://ws.apache.org/axis</a></div> |

| The Web Service wizard assists you in creating a new Web service, |
| configuring it for deployment, and deploying the Web service to a server. |
| Once your Web service is deployed, the wizard assists you in generating the |
| client proxy and sample application to test the Web service. When you have |
| completed testing, you can publish your Web service to a UDDI Business Registry |
| using the Export wizard.</li> |
| <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../tasks/tsklwsdla.html">Creating a Java bean skeleton from a WSDL document using the Apache Axis run-time environment</a></strong><br /> |
| The Web service wizard assists you in creating a skeleton bean |
| from an existing WSDL document. The skeleton bean contains a set of methods |
| that correspond to the operations described in the WSDL document. When the |
| bean is created, each method has a trivial implementation that you replace |
| by editing the bean.</li> |

| The Web Service Client wizard assists you in generating a Java bean |
| proxy and a sample application. The sample Web application demonstrates how |
