I don’t think it is neccesary to change my existing business interfaces and value objects just to expose them over SOAP

That is so funny. It is like saying: I do not want to change anything in my car, but it should sail, fly, and finish race first!

What I <strong>do</strong> want is to use the Axis framework within my Spring Controller, but since there is so much logic in the <code>AxisServlet</code>, I cannot do so.

Dmitri,

However, if I want to use it, I have to implement a Mule interface (either <code>MuleEventListener</code> or <code>MuleSubscriptionEventListener</code>). I don't think that exposing a business interface via SOAP should require me to change my implementations: it should all be taken care of by the framework, just like the other <code>ServiceExporter</code>s in Spring. Ross,

Why would anyone want to copy Axis source code someplace else? Why don't you use it directly? Copy and Paste? Why would anyone want to copy Axis source code someplace else?

Mule isn't a soap provider but uses a common interface for invoking soap as well as jms, tcp, http, pop3, smtp, etc. There is an example of how to expose Spring beans a web services <a href="http://wiki.muleumo.org/display/MULE/Spring+Events+Example">here</a>. Mule currently supports Axis (no servlet engine required) and Glue and will support StAX-based providers like ActiveSoap and XFire shortly. Mule uses the Spring ApplicationContext event mechanism so it's almost transparent to your application. There is a beginners guide to using Mule with spring <a href="http://wiki.muleumo.org/display/MULE/Sending+and+Receiving+Mule+Events+From+the+Spring+Context">here</a>. Cheers, Ross You can use Mule to expose Spring beans as web services and invoke web services from your beans.
