| <title>Introduction</title> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP">submission</a> |
| to W3C.</p> |
| |
| <p>From the draft W3C specification: |
| <blockquote>SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchanging structured information in a decentralized, distributed environment. |
| It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.</blockquote> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>This project is a follow-on to the <a href="http://ws.apache.org/soap">Apache SOAP project</a>.</p> |

| |
| <p>Axis 1.1 has proven itself to be a reliable and stable base on which to implement Java Web services. |
| There is a very active <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis/mail.html">user community</a> and there are |
| many companies who use Axis for Web services support in their products.</p> |
| |
| <p>For Axis 1.2, we are focusing on our document/literal support to better address the <a href="http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.0.html">WS-I Basic Profile 1.0</a> and <a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/downloads/jaxrpc.html">JAX-RPC 1.1</a> specifications. And we are fixing as many bug as possible.</p> |
