deploy multiple services from a directory

[Rich Johns <rj...@vignette.com>]

If you have ever wished it were possible to deploy multiple
services from the SOAP Admin page by simply pointing at a directory
and having all the .xml files (deployment descriptors) read in
you might try this.

Please find attached a modified version of  deploy.jsp from the SOAP Admin web app.
This won't win any elegance awards, but it's been pretty handy for me.

It's easy to try and use:

1) Replace the original with the new one.
2) Click the deploy button
3) Find the 'Deploy Multiple Services' input field and type in a directory path, eg.,
d:\foo\soap\services
where 'services' is a directory underwhich are one or more .xml files containing
deployment descriptor specs.
4) press the deploy button

NOTE: if you want to deploy by typing in all the fields, leave the 'Deploy Multiple Services' input
field blank. The jsp will then behave as it was originally intended.


hope it's useful.
