Apache Axis2 Reviews & Product Details

New Architecture on Axis2 is more flexible, efficient, and configurable than the previous version. Axis2 supports asynchronous Web services Hot deployment feature - the ability to deploy Web services and handlers while the system is up and running Axis2 consumes low memory, a design feature Supports component-oriented deployment Axis2 supports the Web Service Description Language, that allows to easily build stubs to access remote services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A large community isn't using Apache Axis2, therefore it is harder to get support if you are stuck somewhere Lack of documentation and resources (books) available on the topic Axis2 is more like a fully SOA, it won't be suitable for lightweight requirements There are a number of major areas where users can get into trouble when using Axis2, hence precise study is required before using it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code generated from WSDL is directly configurable. What I like is the modularity of Axis 2. Its plugin add-on functionality gives us more features like security and reliability. The object model is a pull-based XML object model, which simply means high performance. Oh, what about hot deployment? I love the ease and smoothness of the hot deployment capability of Axis 2. You will also like building stubs for accessing remote services. And folks, migration from Axis 1 to Axis 2 is also easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Concern if WS security is used. Performance slightly degrades. Another factor is community support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use, just need to add the libs to project and start writing the code to develop the Web Services. I have used in Java to develop the SOAP Web Service as well as used to create the Java classes for client WSDL to generate the client side Web Service. And its WSDL2JAVA is best option to generate the Java classes from WSDL. Its libs are help full to generate the soap security elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my case, I didn't find any difficulty to use Axis 2 for developing Web Services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a Nice frame work for a web based development and very easy to use and accessible Apache axis 2 review is Very resourceful and reliable as it is a core engineered web service. Overall it is a excellent web service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still need a consistent platform as there is a lack of community interaction to get the results and database that is required for Apache axis 2. Slight tweaks to the controversy are still required that can easily be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easily pluggable, Interfaces and getMessage methods, Logging and tracing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not that much correctly binded data by w3c dom. failures in xml processing, security encryption problems, not able to handle RPC handler, not able to handle JSON pojos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modular based architecture support for different data binding mechanism ADB, jibX, Jaxb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration configuration is bit more complex. Example, integrating apache rampart for ws-security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning curve not particularly difficult. Robust framework suitable for many needs of today's market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the use that I have always done I have not found any particular negative aspects. This doesn't mean there aren't any. The market is constantly changing and if a framework is to survive it must cover the new needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fast to consume web services and the velocity of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The verbosity of its generated classes, they should be a bit more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Send SOAP messages.

2. Receive and process SOAP messages.

3. Create a Web service out of a plain Java class.

4. Create implementation classes for both the server and client using WSDL.

5. Easily retrieve the WSDL for a service.

6. Send and receive SOAP messages with attachments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Buggy implementation of W3C DOM API in Axis 1.x

2. Axis2 does not support JAX-RPC handlers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it makes life easy by abstracting complex implementation. Easy to generate stubs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data binding issues,

Doesn’t support few WSDL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
