A JavaScript client for consuming Axis2 sevice

Question

Hi,

I have written a service using Axis2. Now I wish to consume it using a browser based client written in JavaScript.

Would appreciate if some one could give any pointers on this.

Thanks

There are several options when deploying an Axis2 service, ranging from the webservice style (ex: RPC), encoding, transport (tcp/http), handlers, attachments, WS-Security, etc. which makes it hard or impossible to implement a fully compliant Axis2 client.

I would strongly recommend you publish your services enabling the REST api and consume the services via REST. Here's the link to the docs: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_5/rest-ws.html

If you want to take the hard route and parse soap messages, I would recommend that you write your client using GWT and expose some services using GWT exporter
