Need way of specifying EngineConfigurationFactory via properties

           Summary: Need way of specifying EngineConfigurationFactory via
                    properties
           Product: Axis
           Version: current (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Deployment / Registries
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: douglas.bitting@agile.com


There is a (rather significant) defect in WebLogic's webapp class loading 
mechanism such that the services discovery mechanism does not work.  So, one is 
left in a lurch if they'd like to specify their own 
EngineConfigurationFactory.  It used to be that this could be set via a system 
property.  Here is a patch that re-enables that functionality.

This patch allows setting the system property override the services discovery 
mechanism.  Please note, this patch reuses an existing error message if an 
exception is encountered while trying to load/initialize the specified factory 
class.  A new message should probably be introduced.
