RE: can you register a service to be notified when container is s hut down?

[Glen Daniels <gd...@macromedia.com>]

JAX-RPC specs a ServiceLifecycle interface which contains init(Object context) and destroy().  So you just have your service object implement ServiceLifecycle, and init()/destroy() will be called appropriately.

I've just implemented this functionality in Axis for request, session, and application scoped objects.  As soon as I confirm that the tests still pass, I'll check it in.
