Hi, I have written a XMPP transport for Axis2/Java [1]. I am planning to submit a patch soon. Right now I do not have the full spec complacency. But you can call Axis2 web service from a  Axis2 client using  XMPP as the transport & get the response using the same. /sumedha [1] <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/</a> <div>On 8/22/07, Jonathan Dickinson <<a href="mailto:chayce.za@gmail.com"> chayce.za@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">If you want your server to expose a SOAP endpoint you will need a plugin, otherwise you could always have a custom Jabber client and have JIDs like <a href="mailto:creditcards@bank.com">creditcards@bank.com</a> and <a href="mailto:accounts@bank.com">accounts@bank.com</a>. It makes more sense to make the server JID (e.g. <a href="http://bank.com">bank.com</a>) the SOAP endpoint, but that isn't always possible: as it seems to be in your case. Furthermore, I would recommend you alter your SOAP framework somehow, because SOAP is stateless where XMPP is stateful, you can leverage this to your advantage (in my honest opinion, XMPP is better suited to Remote API than HTTP). E.g. most SOAP endpoints require a login of some form, you can have the user log in once using a Login method instead of sending credentials/tokens each time another method is called. Good luck!
