Harcoded URL

           Summary: Harcoded URL

Hi,  
  
We've found that if we change the default content of url-pattern element in  
web.xml from <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern> to, for instance,   
<url-pattern>/webservices/*</url-pattern>, the page that lists the available  
services/operations is badly generated. The link that should display the web  
service WSDL is broken.  
This is caused by harcoded 'services' string on method  
reportAvailableServices() of class org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet,  
as shown below:  
  
String baseURL = getWebappBase(request)+"/services/";  
  
It is very likely that string "/services/" should be replaced by a dynamically  
retrieved string, according to either request URL or web.xml url-pattern.  
  
We humbly suggest that Axis hardcoded HTML pages could be built by JSP (with  
the aid of a simple JavaBean and forwarding [AxisServlet -> list.jsp]) or  
similar technology, in order for people to easily change the HMTL layouts with  
no need for recompliling Axis sources (one would simply edit JSPs).  
  
BTW, we are Santos (jlsanctus@yahoo.co.uk) and Jo�o Santos  
(jmsantos@mail.pt) and if you feel that this information is helpful and we  
deserve to be added to the contributors list ( :-) ), PLEASE feel free to do  
so.  
  
We look forward for your feedback.
