Contents of .aar file
I have a group of services to be deployed in Axis2.0 . What should be the
contents of the .aar file apart from the services.xml file??

Runtime Configuration files
Posted by Glenn Williams <gl...@iosemantics.com>.
Hi,
Our application supports runtime configuration (setting pool size for
example) that allows our end user to customize the application for their
specific runtime needs. What is the best way to accommodate this within the
Axis2 environment?
Thanks.

Setting web service application parameters
Posted by Glenn Williams <gl...@iosemantics.com>.
Hello,
What is the best way to pass parameters (such as DB authentication) into a
web services application being hosted by Axis2? Additionally what is the
best way to set up a config file for that application itself?
Thanks in advance.

What is the best practice for passing parameters (such as DB login,
location, etc.) using Axis2?

That means for any configuration change such as runtime pooling the user has
to redeploy the .aar file? This isn't acceptable in a production system that
needs to load balance or change dynamic values such as database location or
login, in real time, and by sys admins who do not develop the software.
Apache configuration tools provide means in real time to pick up
configuration changes for example, but there seems to be no way to use this
feature in an Axis2 web service.
The only way I see is to expand the runtime code into the service directory
and get rid of the .aar file.
Anybody see any other option?

IFAIK, you only get access to ConfigurationContext which reflects
configuration
specified in axis2.xml in runtime. You can't access the contents of axis2
conf
directory directly.
IMHO, configuration file of a service should be included in service.aar
file.
I would put it inside META-INF folder inside service.aar and later read it
via service class loader.

IMHO, configuration file of a service should be included in service.aar file.
I would put it inside META-INF folder inside service.aar and later read it
via service class loader.

Axis2.xml, from the documentation, is supposed to be for global
configuration. But it is available outside .AAR file so a user could change
the configuration without repackaging the .AAR file. But that seems to
violate the usage of the axis2.xml file. Any thoughts?
What do you think about putting a configuration file for the given service
in the Axis2 conf directory? Is that directory available to the service at
runtime?

You can add them as parameters in axis2.xml or you can have a module to
initialize them and add those to container. In the case of module
approach you have to write a module with a Module class and inside the
module init method you need to do the processing.

You can add them as parameters in axis2.xml or you can have a module to
initialize them and add those to container. In the case of module
approach you have to write a module with a Module class and inside the
module init method you need to do the processing.

Re: Access to classes outside .aar file
Posted by robert lazarski <ro...@gmail.com>.
The whole idea is to not allow that since classloader isolation is a
big reason for the aar in the first place, IIRC.
Can you just put all your classes in WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes ?
Its not mandatory in anyway to put your classes in an aar - I rarely
do myself. All you really need is a dir in WEB-INF/services with your
META-INF/services.xml .

Hi,
Following article has some details about the aar structure.

This one gives some details about the services.xml file.
