Apache AXIS What is AXIS?

A Web Service framework (client and server)

What is the main idea? The messages are passed and processed The processing units are called handler organized in chains

Why it is so useful? Possibility to write own handler and chains

Why did I choose Apache AXIS? Open source Extensible Good requirement coverage Works with external serialiser (e.g. Castor)

Technical Solutions Proxy

AXIS-Handler on the client side Proxy Service as message-based AXIS Web Service

Mapping between business and coordination Usage of Trace from Dr. Marcus Venzke Mapping stored in XML-configuration file Handler intercepting messages

JXTA Realised as AXIS-Transport-Handler Used for communication behind the Proxy Service Has no side effects for the client
