ANN: Admin GUI for Axis now Available!!

[Mike Barton <mb...@allesta.com>]

For Web services deployments, it is very useful to have the capability 
to manage your Axis server and web services deployments without having 
to edit manually the deployment descriptor (server-config.wsdd file) or 
having to restart Java Servlet/JSP container.

WSABI for Axis provides a Java-based web application that manages Web 
services deployed via Apache Axis SOAP server. Built on top of Jakarta 
Struts framework, WSABI offers an intuitive user interface that vastly 
simplifies the management of complex Axis deployment descriptor 
configurations.

Changes made to Axis deployment descriptor using WSABI can be applied 
transiently or saved persistently so that the changes remain when Axis 
server is restarted.

The user interface is divided into five sections:

Handlers - Manage the named handlers
Transports - Manage transports
Globals - Manage global configuration elements
Services - Manage Web service deployments
Configuration - Manage WSABI for Axis configuration

The current implementation is an early alpha version that is at best 
incomplete.  We invite you to help us shape the subsequent releases and 
functionality of the product.

Test drive WSABI at http://demo.wsabi.org
