I want to throw another question out there, are there any sites out
there that show how to talk from one SOAP server to another. For
example if you have ASP.NET soap talking to tomcat soap or jboss axis.
I know I could use out.println() and just encode my own soap, but I know
the java SOAP/AXIS APIs are supposed to make things easier.
