The “Web Services Messaging with Apache Axis2: Concepts and Techniques” article is a good introductory read for those who are still trying to understand the difference between explicit (SOAP-based) messaging and Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs)! I don’t think I need to write anything more in relation to the discussion on whether SOAP and Web Services equal to RPC even though I think there is much more into message-orientation (e.g. MEST :-).
The above article also briefly introduces the new Axis 2 API for In-Only and In-Out MEPs. Now, if anyone from Axis 2 is listening… how about renaming the ‘Call’ class to ‘Message’ and use methods like ‘send’ rather than ‘invoke’?
