Re: Web Services or Servlet?

Thanks all for your replies.

They want it to be Java anyway.

I will give Axis a try and then decide between Servlet or Web
Services/Axis.
WebServices (like everything else in J2EE) is too complicate for what
is does (maybe because I am coming from Corba background) but I use
Jbuilder and it does pretty much everything for you.

Hi All,

I have following scenarios:

An application running on some server (inside our Intranet) is sending
our server a request including 5 fields of data (volume is ~1000 per
day) and our server is suppose to do some calculation and return back a
two field data.

This sounds like a good example of Web Service/SOAP scenario but I
don't really want to complicate things with Application Server,
Deploy and etc.

You don't need a full J2EE application server to run a web service. A
servlet running inside a servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) can implement a web
service, and there are a number of tools for building such a thing, e.g.
Axis.
