Then, run the client as shown here:

Axis turns around Apache SOAP

In this article, I have only scratched the surface of Axis's new features. Remember, Axis is not just a rewrite of Apache SOAP; it is a complete re-architecture. It provides a SOAP toolkit that offers more than a library to abstract SOAP messages. Axis also has built-in support for WSDL and lets you create client-side proxies (or stubs) using Web services' WSDL definitions. With all its new features, Axis has truly taken Apache SOAP to the next level.
