Localservicemap and serviceReaderUrls

[Jonathon -- Improov <jo...@improov.com>]

It appears it is possible to have private services defined within a webapp. Is that how parameter 
"serviceReaderUrls" (in web.xml) works?

Does it make sense to have little private services defined within a webapp, never to be reused by 
other webapps?

If the answer is no, then does it make sense to even have a separate dispatcher (WebAppDispatcher) 
for each webapp? Seems like all services in OFBiz are global, not private.

And by the way, why does ContextFilter not automatically create a WebAppDispatcher when no 
"localDispatcherName" parameter is defined? It does so for a GenericDelegator.

I think this is from a previous version of obiz
the services.xml does not exits. WEB-INF/services.xml is configuration
files not a service.
now reader info is gotten from the ofbiz-components.xml
and yes the reader is global and reads different data from each app.

the default dispatcher is defined in the is used to access the app
specific services.

note: the default delegator is defined in framework/entity/entityengine.xml.
