mutiple WebServiceBuilder gbeans

[Conrad O'Dea <co...@iona.com>]

Hi,

in the current default configuration for Geronimo, there appears to  
be single WebServiceBuilder deployed which is the AxisBuilder.  Is it  
possible to have a second builder of this type deployed? Is so what  
will happen when another Gbean (for example the Jetty or Tomcat  
deployer) invokes on it?

Basically, I am looking for a way to deploy another WebServiceBuilder  
that can be used by the module deployers without having to update the  
plans for each, if possible.

thanks
Conrad

You won't be able to use it for ejb web services because the openejb  
web service implementation is hard coded to use axis.

However, I think the POJO ws should be OK.  I think the easiest  
solution is to write a plan for your WSB that gives it the same name  
as the axis one, and deploy the resulting configuration instead of  
the axis one.  (I'm assuming you are working with trunk where we have  
separated the builders more than in 1.0)

You may also need to write suitable "adapter" servlets similar to  
JettyPOJOWebServiceHolder.

There are probably lots of problems you will run into so please feel  
free to speak up, complain, etc etc
