| <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> | |
