Web Services

[Supraja Kannaiyan]

Hi,

I am trying to develop Web services using Tomcat and Apache Axis. I would like to Know how to pass Java Bean as input and output from the web service. Please send me some source code if you have any.

Thanks in Advance,
Supraja

Check out the "pojo" sample code that comes with Axis. It demonstrates how to send a JavaBean in a SOAP call.

Thanks,
