Hi Mike,

  If I am right, wrapper element around your actual document is not specific
to Axis. That is the way Weblogic also works, Weblogic determines which
method to invoke, based on this wrapper element (root element of your xml
payload).
Thanks,
Ranjith Pillai.

Well, that may be the way Axis currently routes messages, but I prefer to 
develop my application's schema based on what is appropriate for the 
application, not because of the limitations imposed by a particular 
implementation. This is exactly the kind of situation that SOAPAction is 
supposed to address. .NET uses it for routing messages, so I know Axis HAS
to 
support it ;-) I suspect it's just a matter of configuring HTTPActionHandler

correctly.

Also, I'd like to keep my web services portable to different JAX-RPC 
implementations, so I try to avoid Axis-specific features (e.g.,
Message-style 
services.)

I did. I didn't find anything in the user's guide about the details of
routing 
document-style services.

Mike
