[Babeldoc-devel] Re: axis

[Bruce M. <br...@mc...>]

Hans,

I have never used suns soap stuff but have found axis to be an exciting and 
reliable software framework.  I definitely think moving to use it would be a 
good idea.  If you need any help getting the dynamic class loading working, 
please email the list and we can work on it.   Your ideas make sense - using 
soap as a universal document transport layer makes a lot of sense *if* we can 
do it with reasonable performance.

regards,
Bruce.
