Can i use REST adapter in place of SOAP- Axis?

Hi Experts,

We are currently on version PI 7.1 and we have bunch of interfaces using Axis adapter in our SOAP receiver communication channels.

We are planning to upgrade from PI 7.1 to PO 7.4 pretty soon and i need to find out if we will need Axis adapter on PO also or i can use REST adapter or something else for this functionality.

The module I am using for Axis is :

AF_Adapters/axis/AFAdapterBean

AF_Adapters/axis/HandlerBean

and parameters i am using is :

handler.type

module.pivot

action

handler.type

passwordType

pwd.password

user

handler.type

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Hetal
