JBoss and Apache Axis compatibility

[sarunb4u]

I'm in the midst of integrating two components, one runs in JBoss and other components exposes some web services deployed in Axis. When i integrate them, there will be a communication between component deployed in JBOSS and Web services exposed via Axis.

If i understand correctly, AXIS by default uses RPC service style and JBOSS uses document/literal encoding format. So there is a notion of soap-wsdl encoding format change required here.

All i wanted to know is that,
1.Is there any compatibility issues (if any) between JBOSS and Axis ?
2.JBOSS-Axis interaction with respect to the soap encoding format ?
3.Some explanation on SOAP encodingStyle ?

Hi!

If you are creating "contract first" web services, there should be no problem at all. If you are generating your contract you can get into trouble.

So stick to contract first and generate booth service implementation and client usage from the contract to be on the "safe" side.

You may have compatibility issues if your axis ws uses rpc/encoded style, since jbossws does not support it because WS-I Basic Profile disallowed it. Rpc/literal and document/literal instead are supported by JBossWS.
Take a look at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-whichwsdl/ for further informations about wsdl styles.
