David Watson: I used the version that is included in the JBoss 3.0 RC3 distribution. I was able to create a simple test.jws web service and deploy it by dropping it in the axis directory. I was able to hit the web service with an HTTP GET from the browser and axis gave it's default message. However, the instructions for getting WSDL generated, specifically adding ?wsdl or ?WSDL to the end of the URL doesn't work.

I don't know what version is included in JBoss, but the current version supports the automatic generation of WSDL for JWS files.  For a live example, see http://nagoya.apache.org:5049/axis/StockQuoteService.jws?wsdl.

I also would like to see axis do for the client side of SOAP what they did for the server side with the jws auto-deployment.

Stubless dynamic invocation can be done via WSIF, which is in the process of being incorporated into the Apache code base.
