Passing Start-Up Parameters to a WEB Service

["Smith, Larry" <xl...@ti.com>]

Is there any way to pass start-up parameters to a WEB Service running
under Axis?

I've tried adding an init() method, but it never gets invoked.

I've tried adding custom <parameter.../> entries to deploy.wsdd

We need a way to tell a WEB Service where to find various config
files and directories, which database to use, etc, when it starts up.

See the message thread for "Finding a WEB Service's Directory" for
info about the in-ability to determine the services "home" directory.

Since we can't portably derive the service's "home" directory, then the
ability to supply it with start-up parameters could be used to
accomplish the same task.

Thanks & Regards,
Larry

you can put config stuff into web.xml

Talking to a directory service (ldap/jndi) is widely recognised as better,
as you can change stuff on a live system without a rebuild.
