[AXIS2 ] - RC3 codebase

[Tony Dean <To...@sas.com>]

Hi,

The last time I successfully ran Axis2 was 0.95.  Thus it has been several weeks since I have touched it.  I downloaded RC3 to try it out and I am seeing a lot of differences.  Let me enumerate what I have run into thus far so you can comment on:

1. The deployment of my web service was successful, but the generated wsdl that Axis2 returns (?wsdl) does not match the one that I include with my service.  Here's the one that I include with my service in META-INF/.

Here's the one that you generate:

Even my service name changed from WebServiceMaker to SASWebServiceMaker.  The name "SASWebServiceMaker" is know where in services.xml or wsdl, but it is the top-level directory name in my exploded service archive.

2. I'm not sure how lifecyle works now; but, I am not seeing my init() method being called any more.  Does your service have to implement a certain interface in order for init() and destroy() lifecycle semantics to take place?  I noticed that Axis2 thinks destroy() is an operation (this should not be surfaced to end users).

I'm probably missing some configuration details I hope so please fill me in or point me to some documentation.

Thanks.
