AxisServlet's init() overloading

[An...@nokia.com]

Hi All,

There are some situations where one has to overload AxisServlet's init() method and sign somehow if there was a problem. This cannot be done because of the AxisServlet's init() doesn't define 'thorws' clause in its signature. Is there any reason to disallow throwing an exception in init ? Can be added it to AxisServlet ?

Signature of javax.servlet.GenericServlet:
	public void init() throws ServletException

And the implemented one in org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet
	public void init() {...}

AxisServlet.init() is an implementation of HttpServlet.init(), and so you
cant change what gets thrown without changing the servlet spec and every
implementation thereof.

So, come up with a better solution. Either wrap your exception into a
ServletException, or a RuntimeException()
