Exactly ... thanks for the good feedback Anne and Amila.

You'll find this to be the case with most open source projects -- why
reimplement the application container capability again when systems
like Tomcat already exist? The Axis and Axis2 teams are focusing on
solving a different problem -- processing and dispatching XML
messaging requests. The projects are designed to run in any Java EE or
servlet engine.

If you do find a commercial or open source project that includes an
application container, most likely it includes a copy of Tomcat or
Jetty or it is built on a Java EE app server.

Axis does support a stand-alone runtime mode, but it is intended only
for testing purposes, not for production runtime.

In other words - and excuse the multiple emails on this - although I do
have a good understanding on how
Axis and Axis2 work, my point is that I noticed in the literature that
some researchers are using the wrong
terminology to explain their functionality that confuses some people.
These projects are the implementations
of the SOAP (and REST processing) specifications, they can expose WS and
process their communications
with the world. What people should understand is that the service
implementations are not really "contained"
in these engines and thus the Tomcats etc. Well in any case, thanks for
the feedback Amila.

Would you say the same for Axis ? Axis can be used as a standalone web
services container - yes ?
If not then we have people publishing papers on that that may have it
wrong.

Thanks

        So hold on a sec - Amila, are you saying that Axis2 is not
        considered a
        stable and reliable enough
        standalone web service container

    Axis2 is not a  web service container.  Axis2 is a soap and REST
    message processor which supports WS*.  Axis2 is a stable product.
    Basically it concentrates on Soap and REST  message processing.


Sorry I mean It is not a standalone web application container. It
alows users to deploy web services and expose them with the soap and
REST message processing capabilities.


        and it should always be deployed within
        other proven
        containers (i.e. Tomcat etc.)?

    Yes this is the recommended way.  if you want an standalone server
    you can use
    WSAS ( http://wso2.com/products/wsas/) which uses  the axis2 and
    embedded tomcat server.

        Is this the case only for Axis2 or also
        Axis? Where is this documented?
