hi

for the next project i am working on i am evaluating the
currently available soap implementations. because we are using
unix as a host system and we are working in a pure-java
environment i am looking especially for java impls of soap. also
it should incooperate with jboss or hp bluestone.

and there are only a few impls available. glue (hm, to heavy for
us), axis (still alpha), and soap4j (based on the xml soap). so
there is only the apache soap in the list for evaluation.

so i have downloaded the apache soap 2.2 and jboss 2.4.4 with
tomcat 4.0.1 and followed the installation instructions. also
tried the samples and everything seemed to be fine.

but i have still one big problem: the services currently in use
have been deployed with the interactive deployer tool or with the
admin web page. but this is not very useful if this is a
production environment and everything should happen
automagically. and the use of a command line tool is not very
automagically.

is there no way about defining the services in a deplyment
descriptor or a configuration file? the binary
deployedservices.ds is IMHO not a solution.

and the other not so urgent question: why have the service
classes to be in the classpath and on the other hand happens the
deployment dynamically? i think this a problem in the concept of
the soap implementation.

any ideas?

TIA, goofy
