I am considering to have a SOAP web service written using Apache Axis2. I can either use the Axis server or pack it as a .war and deploy it to a servlet container. My REST service is running on http-kit. Is it possible to to use http-kit with SOAP or does it support SOAP? Or should I need a separate servlet container like tomcat or Axis2? Thanks.
Update: Apache CXF instead of Axis2. I think I cannot use http-kit.
If I understand you correctly, you want to expose a SOAP-service.
I have a sample project which does that:
https://github.com/slipset/soap-box
It uses javax.ws.rs-api and runs as an uber-jar.

I want the gwt app to call a spring boot rest service with basic authentication which consumes and produces a json object and is deployed on a seperate server from the gwt app.
Any hints on how this can be done ?
There is a library called restygwt to easily define REST calls. I think there is an easy way to set the 'Basic' header.

Spring boot allows changing the web server, other than the embedded Tomcat server. Does Vertx provide similar capability?
Vert.x is implemented over netty (A lightweight event-driven network application framework).
Under the hood, starting a Vert.x HttpServer bootstraps a Netty server by default: meaning you cannot switch to another implementation.
While it should be possible to use Vertx with any web server, Vertx comes with a HttpServer in the Vert.x-Web package that can deliver static files and has routing options, role and security features and many more.
All of these are optional, yet pretty easy to use/implement if you follow the documentation. Also see all the other available modules.
If you use the Vertx webserver module you don't need a container like Tomcat, you can deploy a fat-jar and start that like any java application.
You could as well use nginx as a reverse proxy in front of vertx. This setup gives you more flexibility and you can use the full power of nginx for serving static files, your ssl configuration, gziping etc.
I have a website comprising of a server and client. The server is an EAR, and I'm using JBoss to deploy it. The frontend is a series of html/js/css files that call into the backend via ajax.
I can deploy the frontend to an apache (2.2) server, and it works fine, however, I have a requirement that they both be on the same port (with different contexts). How do I deploy my static files to jboss in their own context? It also needs to be able to use mod_rewrite (or something similar).
Thanks
You could use Apache as the front end web server for the Jboss app server behind it. You can deploy all your content to Jboss and configure Apache to manage it.
Or you can use Apache to serve the static content and still use it as the front end for Jboss, configuring Apache to map your Jboss port to Apache. You can configure it to use different contexts if you need to.

I have a few questions about deploying my .ear file (was provided to me, the file itself should not be the problem). I set up jBoss application server jboss-6.0.0.Final and was able to run a simple hello world app to ensure the server was functioning properly.
I was told to place the .ear file in /server/default/deploy so I did. When I ran jboss (through /bin/run.bat) I got no errors related to deploying the ear file.
Question
Is this all the software I need (jBoss)? Do I also need something like Apache or tomcat?
The .ear file contains RESTful service calls that should return xml. Will these be deployed (accessible through a jQuery ajax call after the server (jboss/bin/run.bat) is executed?
Currently when I try to make the calls, the resources do not seem to exist.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help.
JBoss AS ships with an embedded Tomcat as a servlet container so you really don't need that anymore. Apache Web Server is NOT required for your .EAR to be deployed properly.
To answer your questions
No other software is needed to deploy the EAR. You simply copy your EAR file to deploy directory (which you have rightfully done so).
If your EAR contains RESTFul services, they will be deployed and you can access them using any client including jQuery or even a simple browsers. The trick is to know the access URL to the RESTFul services.
If you have difficulty identifying the URL for accessing your RESTFul services please refer [1] for more information.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

I can answer the first question. You need apache if you want to serve static content or you need to isolate the traffic (say keep apache in the dmz and then use apache to proxy traffic to the internal jboss servers). tomcat is bundled along with jboss, so you do not need it.
I have an application using Apache CXF with a lots of SOAP services implemented. So, i would like to use the "service registry" concept and then, i´d hear about UDDI, but i dont know how to implemented that.
Is Apache CXF already composed by an API to deploy UDDI engine or should i fix another library to do that?
Take a look at JUDDI:
http://juddi.apache.org/
which is a UDDI service. The latest version is written to JAX-WS and is tested by default with CXF.
To add, jUDDI has a neat way to automate the registration of web services using annotations and a servlet startup listener.
