Where to download SOAP?

[a]

This is the only place I can find to download SOAP & every single link
is broken http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/ws/soap/

Is there somewhere else I can get it?

thanks (sorry if I've missed anything obvious but but just starting
with SOAP!)

has Apache SOAP been totally scrapped? - can't find anywhere to download it!

is there any alternative?

yes ... for a start you are missing that SOAP is just a communication
protocol - trying to download 'SOAP' is like trying to download HTTP,
TCP or IMAP...

What you probably want is a SOAP stack, i.e. a library that allows you
to set up a or communicate with a SOAP service. In that case you want
to look for Axis, Axis2, XFire, WSIF or a almost unlimited number of
other OSS projects (and this is only Java!).

But before you go into coding with any of them I would recommend some
further reading on the basics of Web Services.

They seem to have removed it.

Apache SOAP has been replaced by Apache Axis.

Apache Axis is in the process of being replaced
by Apache Axis2.

A web service toolkit from 2001-2003 is rather useless today.

The link he gave was to download the Apache SOAP product, which
was Apache's SOAP implementation before Axis.

I could find it in:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/ws/soap/version-2.3.1/

But as already stated: find something newer !
