Can WCF .svc type web services be consumed using Apache Axis through WsHttpBinding?

[Karthikeyan Bhaskaran]

Hello Everybody,

I've been looking up on the internet for information about support for WsHttpBinding and Apache Axis (not Axis2), and java-based client for consuming a .NET WCF .svc type webservice. ( I did not face any problems using a .asmx service. )
However, I have not been able to locate such information in plain English. Even if I did actually land on a page which might have provided useful information, I do not understand the language used on many such pages. Can somebody throw some light on whether WsHttpBinding is supported in Apache Axis (pre-Axis2)? This will immensely help me troubleshoot one of the issues I have been having.

Regards,

Karthikeyan

It depends how you configure the WsHttpBinding.
The default setting of negotiateServiceCredentaial=true is not supported even by Axis2.
If you have changed this setting in WCF it is possible but I havn't tried it and I guess it can be very hard (even with Axis2)

Thanks Yaron. Do you know if it is possible with pre-Axis2 at all?

[Yaron Naveh]

Not sure. The security stuff may be ok under some configuration, but I don't know if Axis supports the correct WS-Addressing version.

Thanks. I will try to locate more information.
