Programmatic deployment of web services

[Bradley Mazurek <ma...@opentext.com>]

On the Axis wiki I see the following question:
   Q) How do I deploy a service on web application initialization?

In the last message of the thread that questions' answer refers to, I 
see the following:

> I need to deploy and undeploy services programmatically. The 
> deployment is done from a servlet which is in the same servlet

I searched the mailing list, but couldn't find any relevent answers.

Does anyone have any advice on how to go about programmatically 
deploying and undeploying services, or at least appropriate places in 
the source code to begin looking?

Thanks.

Isn't that what the AdminClient is for?

% java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient deploy.wsdd
<Admin>Done processing</Admin>

(where deploy.wsdd contains the description of the new service).
