Dynamic Deployment

[Richard Emberson <re...@edgedynamics.com>]

Can one dynamically deploy a new service using axis?

What do I mean by dynamic deployment? Well, I do not mean that
you have to know what you are going to deploy and put all the
needed jar files into the WEB-INF/lib directory before you
start the axis servlet - thats hardly dynamic.
Rather, I want to be able to deploy a new service, with its
new jar files, after axis is up and running. Can one tell
axis where to find a new service's jar file while deploying
with the wsdd file?

Application servers generally allow one to dynamically deploy. What
I would like to do something similar with axis.

Thanks

server-config.wsdd generation without a webserver

[Richard Emberson <re...@edgedynamics.com>]

Given that I've got a wsdl file and wsdd deploy file, how can
I generate a server-config.wsdd file without having a running
webserver with axis installed?

I would like to build a war file with axis and my jar files as
well as the server-config.wsdd. I do not want to have to call
the AdminClient to deploy the wsdd file to a running instance
of axis - I simply want to can the server-config.wsdd in the war
file.

Interesting idea. One would have to have different url's for some
of the common axis webpages, etc. but since one's services have
unique urls they at least would not collide. I will have to try it.

If you drop a new war file into tomcat and this contains AXIS
plus a service defn for your new service plus the jars required
for service. Tomcat will auto deply the new war file.

Would that work?
Can you have multiple copies of axis running in the same tomcat?
