Non servlet SOAP server?

[Christopher A. Brooks]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a client listening for incoming SOAP messages without
being contain in a servlet container (Note: I do not want to have to make a
call to receive messages, I would like to set my Java client up similar to
..net's remoting features)? I can't seem to find a library that will do this
for me....

Thanks in advance for any help/tips,

Chris

You can send a SOAP message by any transport mechanism that can move a
Unicode character stream. Sockets, MOM, email, whatever. If you want to use
HTTP you might as well use a servlet.

Hi,

do you know a soap api where you have access to the soap string? I have
found no api (e.g apache axis, java-rmi, ...) where the http-mechanism can
be easily replaced by a different transport layer.

Thanks in advance for any help

In my SOAP Programming with Java book I show examples that
make use of the Apache SOAP classes. You have to really dig into
the source code to find the usable classes, but they are in there.
