+<h1>OM Tutorial</h1>
+
+<h2>Section 1-Introduction</h2>
+
+<h3>What is OM?</h3>
+
+<p>OM stands for Object Model (also known as AXIOM - AXis Object Model) and
+refers to the XML infoset model that is developed for Axis 2. XML infoset
+refers to the information included inside the XML and for programmatical
+manipulation it is convenient to have a representation of this XML infoset in
+a language specific manner. For an object oriented language the obvious
+choice is a model made up of objects. DOM and JDOM are two such XML models.
+OM is conceptually similar to such an XML model by its external behavior but
+deep down it is very much different. The objective of this tutorial is to
+introduce the basics of OM and explain the best practices to follow while
+using OM. However before entering the deep ends of OM it is better to skim
+the surface and see what it is all about!</p>
+
+<h3>For whom is this Tutorial?</h3>
+
+<p>This tutorial can be used by anybody who is interested in OM and needs to
+go deeper in it. However it is assumed that the reader has a basic
+understanding of the concepts of XML (such as Namespaces) and a working
+knowledge of tools such as Ant.  Knowledge in similar object models such as
+DOM will be quite helpful in understanding but such knowledge is not assumed.
+Several Links are listed in the appendix/ links section that will help
+anybody who lacks the basic understanding of XML.</p>
+
+<h3>What is pull parsing ?</h3>
+Pull parsing is a recent trend in XML processing. The previously popular XML
+processing frameworks such as SAX and DOM were "push-based" which means the
+control of the parsing was with the parser itself. This approach is fine and
+easy to use but it was not efficient in handling large XML documents since a
+complete memory model will be generated in the memory. Pull parsing inverts
+the control and hence the parser only proceeds at the users command. The user
+can decide to store or discard events generated from the parser. OM is based
+on pull parsing. To learn more about XML pull parsing see the <a
+href="http://www.bearcave.com/software/java/xml/xmlpull.html">XML pull
+parsing introduction</a>.
+
+<h3>A Bit of History</h3>
+
+<p>The original OM was proposed as a store for the pull parser events for
+later processing, at the Axis summit held at Colombo in September 2004.
+However this approach was soon improved and OM was pursued as a complete info
+set model due to its flexibility. Several implementation techniques were
+attempted during the initial phases. The two most promising techniques were
+the table based technique and the link list based technique. During the
+intermediate performance tests the link list based technique proved to be
+much more memory efficient for smaller and mid sized XML documents (the
+advantage of the table based OM was only visible for the large and very large
+XML documents) and hence the link list based technique was chosen as the most
+suitable. Initial efforts were focused on implementing the XML info set items
+which are relevant to the SOAP specification (DTD support, Processing
+Instruction support, etc were not considered).  The advantage of having a
+tight integration was evident at this stage and this resulted in having SOAP
+specific interfaces as part of OM rather than a layer on top of it. OM was
+deliberately made API centric. It allows the implementations to take place
+independently and swapped without affecting the program later.</p>
+
+<h3>Features of OM</h3>
+
+<p>OM is a lightweight, differed built XML info set representation based on
+StAX (<a
+href="http://www.jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/first/jsr173/">JSR
+173</a>), which is the standard streaming pull parser API. The object model
+can be manipulated as flexibly as any other object model (Such as <a
+href="http://www.jdom.org/">JDOM</a>), but underneath the objects will be
+created only when they are absolutely required. This leads to much less
+memory intensive programming. Following is a short feature overview of OM.</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Lightweight ,  OM is specifically targeted to be lightweight. This is
+    achieved by reducing the depth of the hierarchy, number of methods and
+    the attributes enclosed in the objects. This makes the objects less
+    memory intensive.</li>
+  <li>Differed building , By far this is the most important feature of OM.
+    The objects are not made unless a need arises for them. This passes the
+    control of building over to the object model itself rather than an
+    external builder.</li>
+  <li>Pull based , For a differed building mechanism a pull based parser is
+    required. OM is based on StAX, the standard pull parser API.</li>
+</ul>

+
+<p>OM Builder wraps the raw xml character stream through the StAX reader API.
+Hence the complexities of the pull event stream is covered</p>
+
+<h3>A bit about caching</h3>
+
+<p>Since OM is a differed built Object model, It incorporates the concept of
+caching. Caching refers to the creation of the objects while parsing the pull
+stream. The reason why this is so important is because caching can be turned
+off in certain situations. if so the  parser proceeds without building the
+object structure. User can extract the raw pull stream from OM and use that
+instead of the OM and in this case it is sometimes beneficial to switch off
+caching. The advanced operations section explains more on accessing the raw
+pull stream and switching the caching on and off.</p>
+
+<h3>Where does SOAP come into play?</h3>
+
+<p>In a nutshell SOAP is a information exchange protocol based on XML. SOAP
+has a defined set of XML elements that should be used in messages. Since Axis
+is a "SOAP Engine" and OM is built for Axis, A set of SOAP specific objects
+were also defined along with OM. These SOAP Objects are extensions of the
+general OM objects. To <a
+href="http://www.w3schools.com/SOAP/soap_intro.asp">learn more on SOAP</a></p>
+<!--<p>This abstraction provides</p>
+<ul>
+<li>differed building support</li>
+<li>Caching</li>
+</ul>
+<p>AXIOM has the flexibility to plug in any builder which implements the given builders interface.  The upcoming sections of this tutorial deal with the creation and usage of OM for manipulating SOAP (and to some extent nonSOAP) based XML documents.</p>
+-->
+
+<h2>Section 2 - Working with OM</h2>
+
+<h3>Obtaining the OM binary</h3>
+
+<p>OM is not a separate product but part of Axis2. However since Axis2 has a
+modular build structure It is possible to obtain an "OM only" jar.</p>
+
+<p>The easiest way to obtain the OM binary is to download the Axis2 binary
+distribution. The lib directory will contain the axis2-xml-0.93.jar. However
+more adventurous users can build the OM from source. The next section
+describes how to build OM from source.</p>
+
+<p>Detailed information on getting source from Axis2 SVN repository can be
+found <a href="svn.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
+
+<p>After the source download OM-binary can be built. For both Windows and
+Linux move to the project directory and execute the command "maven jar". All
+other necessary jars will be automatically downloaded. When the build
+finishes successfully, the axis2-xml-0.93.jar can be found in the newly
+created "targets" directory in the XML module.</p>
+
+<p>Once the OM-binary is obtained by any of the mentioned means , it should
+be included in the class path for any of the OM based programs to work. The
+subsequent parts of this tutorial assume that this build step is complete and
+the Axis-0.93.jar is correctly in the classpath along with the StAX API jar
+file and a StAX implementation.</p>
+
+<h3>Creation</h3>
+
+<p>Creation is the first and foremost action in using an Object
+representation. This part explains how OM can be built from an existing
+document or just programmatically. OM provides a notion of a factory and a
+builder to create objects. The factory helps to keep the code at the
+interface level and the implementations separately (Figure 2). Since OM is
+tightly bound to StAX, a StAX compliant reader should be created first with
+the desired input stream. Then the reader should be fed into the
+OMXMLBuilderFactory to instantiate a suitable builder. The interface provided
+by the builder is identical though the internal implementations vary.
+However, the types of the returned objects depend on the implementation of
+the builder. For example the SOAPModelBuilder returns SOAP specific objects
+(such as the SOAPEnvelope, which are sub classes of the OMElement) through
+its builder methods. The following piece of code shows the correct method of
+creating an OM document from an input stream. Note that the SOAP builder is
+used in this example.</p>
+<source><pre>//create the parser<br>        
+XMLStreamReader parser = XMLInputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamReader(new FileReader(file));
+<br>//create the builder<br>        
+OMXMLParserWrapper builder = OMXMLBuilderFactory.createStAXSOAPModelBuilder(OMAbstractFactory.getSOAP11Factory(), parser); 
+//get the root element (in this case the envelope)<br>
+        SOAPEnvelope envelope = (SOAPEnvelope) builder.getDocumentElement();</pre>
+</source>
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.1</b></div>
+
+<p>As the example shows, creating an OM from an input stream is pretty
+straightforward. However elements and nodes can be created programmatically
+to modify the structure as well. The recommended way to create OM objects
+programmatically is to use the factory. OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory() will
+return the proper factory and the creator methods for each type should be
+called. Currently OM has two builders, namely the OM builder and the SOAP
+model builder. These builders provide the necessary information to the XML
+info set model to build itself.</p>
+<!-- Image -->
+
+<p class="img"><img src="images/archi007.jpg" alt="OM Structure 2"
+class="img" width="420" height="246"></p>
+
+<p class="img-title">Figure 2</p>
+<!--  End of Image -->
+
+<p>A simple example is shown below.</p>
+<pre class="code">//create a factory
+OMFactory factory = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
+//use the factory to create two namespace objects
+OMNamespace ns1 = factory.createOMNamespace("bar","x");
+OMNamespace ns2 = factory.createOMNamespace("bar1","y");
+//use the factory to create three elements
+OMElement root = factory.createOMElement("root",ns1);
+OMElement elt11 = factory.createOMElement("foo1",ns1);
+OMElement elt12 = factory.createOMElement("foo2",ns1);</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.2</b></div>
+
+<p>The reason to have a set of factory.createXXX methods is to cater for
+different implementations but keep the programmers code intact. Its highly
+recommend to use the factory for creating OM objects as this will ease the
+switching of different OM implementations. Several differences exist between
+a programmatically created OMNode and a conventionally built OMNode. The most
+important difference is that the former will have no builder object enclosed
+where as the latter always carries a reference to its builder. As stated
+earlier in this tutorial, since the object model is built as and when
+required, each and every OMNode should have a reference to its builder. If
+this information is not available, it is due to the Object being created
+without a builder. This difference becomes evident when the user tries to get
+a non caching pull parser from the OMElement. This will be discussed in more
+detail in the advanced operations section.</p>
+
+<p>In order to understand the requirement of the builder reference in each
+and every OMNode, consider the following scenario. Assume that the parent
+element is built but the children elements are not. If the parent is asked to
+iterate through its children, this information is not readily available to
+the parent element and it should build its children first before attempting
+to iterate them. In order to provide a reference of the builder, each and
+every node of an OM structure should carry the reference to its builder. Each
+and every OMNode carries a flag that states its build status. Apart from this
+restriction there are no other constraints that keep the programmer away from
+mixing up programmatically made OMNode objects with OMNode objects built from
+builders.</p>
+
+<p>The SOAP Object hierarchy is made in the most natural way for a
+programmer. An inspection of the API will show that it is quite close to the
+SAAJ API but with no bindings to DOM or any other model. The SOAP classes
+extend basic OM classes (such as the element) hence one can access a SOAP
+document either with the abstraction of SOAP or drill down to the underlying
+XML Object model with a simple casting.</p>

+
+<h3>Addition of Nodes</h3>
+
+<p>Addition and removal methods are primarily defined in the OMElement
+interface. The following are the most important in adding nodes.</p>
+<pre class="code">public void addChild(OMNode omNode);
+public void addAttribute(OMAttribute attr);</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.3</b></div>
+
+<p>This code segment shows how the addition takes place. Note that it is
+related to the code segment shown in the creation section.</p>
+<pre class="code">//set the children
+elt11.addChild(elt21);
+elt12.addChild(elt22);
+root.addChild(elt11);
+root.addChild(elt12);</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.4</b></div>
+
+<p>Note that AddChild method will always add the child as the first child of
+the parent. Removal of Nodes A given node can be removed from the tree by
+calling the detach() method. A node can also be removed from the tree by
+calling the remove method of the returned iterator which will also call the
+detach method of the particular node internally. Handling namespaces
+Namespaces are a tricky part of any XML object model and is the same in OM.
+However care has been taken to make the interface to the namespace very
+simple. OMNamespace is the class that represents a namespace with
+intentionally removed setter methods. This makes the OMNamespace immutable
+and allows the underlying implementation to share the objects without any
+difficulty. Following are the important methods available in OMElement to
+handle namespaces.</p>
+<pre class="code">public OMNamespace declareNamespace(String uri, String prefix);
+public OMNamespace declareNamespace(OMNamespace namespace);
+public OMNamespace findNamespace(String uri, String prefix) throws OMException;</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.5</b></div>
+
+<p>The declareNamespaceXX methods are fairly straightforward. They add a
+namespace to namespace declarations section. Note that a namespace
+declaration that has already being added will not be added twice.
+FindNamespace is a very handy method to locate a namespace object higher up
+the object tree. It searches for a matching namespace in its own declarations
+section and jumps to the parent if it's not found. The search progresses up
+the tree until a matching namespace is found or the root has been reached.</p>
+
+<p>During the serialization a directly created namespace from the factory
+will only be added to the declarations when that prefix is encountered by the
+serializer. More of the serialization matters will be discussed in the
+serializer section.</p>
+
+<p>The following simple code segment shows how the namespaces are dealt with
+in OM</p>
+<pre class="code">OMFactory factory = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory();
+OMNamespace ns1 = factory.createOMNamespace("bar","x");
+OMElement root = factory.createOMElement("root",ns1);
+OMNamespace ns2 = root.declareNamespace("bar1","y");
+OMElement elt1 = factory.createOMElement("foo",ns1);
+OMElement elt2 = factory.createOMElement("yuck",ns2);
+OMText txt1 = factory.createText(elt2,"blah");
+elt2.addChild(txt1);
+elt1.addChild(elt2);
+root.addChild(elt1);</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.6</b></div>
+
+<p>Serilization of the root element produces the following XML</p>
+<pre class="xml">&lt;x:root xmlns:x="bar" xmlns:y="bar1"&gt;
+  &lt;x:foo&gt;
+        &lt;y:yuck&gt;blah&lt;/y:yuck&gt;
+  &lt;/x:foo&gt;
+&lt;/x:root&gt;</pre>
+
+<h3>Traversing</h3>
+
+<p>Traversing the object structure can be done in the usual way by using the
+list of children. Note however that the child nodes are returned as an
+iterator. The Iterator supports the 'OM way' of accessing elements and is
+more convenient than a list for sequential access. The following code sample
+shows how the children can be accessed. The children are of the type OMNode
+that can either be OMText or OMElement.</p>
+<pre class="code">Iterator children = root.getChildren();
+While(children.hasNext()){
+        OMNode node = (OMNode)children.next();
+}</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.7</b></div>
+
+<p>Apart from this every OMNode has links to its siblings. If more thorough
+navigation is needed the nextSibling() and PreviousSibling() methods can be
+used. A more selective set can be chosen by using the
+getChildrenWithName(QName) methods. The getChildWithName(Qname) method
+returns the first child that matches the given QName and
+getChildrenWithName(QName) returns a collection containing all the matching
+children. The advantage of these iterators is that they won't build the whole
+object structure at once, until its required.</p>

+        step ahead of their apparent location to provide the correct value

+        recommended only when caching is not a concern.</td>

+
+<p>OM can be serialized either as the pure object model or the pull event
+stream. The serialization uses a XMLStreamWriter object to write out the
+output and hence the same serialization mechanism can be used to write
+different types of outputs (such as text, binary, etc.,).</p>
+
+<p>A caching flag is provided by OM to control the building of the in-memory
+OM. The OMNode has two methods, serializeWithCache and serialize  When
+serialize is called the cache flag is reset and the serializer does not cache
+the stream. Hence the object model will not be built if the cache flag is not
+set.</p>
+
+<p>The serializer serializes namespaces in the following way.</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>When a namespace that is in the scope but not yet declared is
+    encountered, then it will be declared.</li>
+  <li>When a namespace that is in scope and already declared is encountered,
+    the existing declarations prefix is used.</li>
+  <li>When the namespaces are declared explicitly using the elements
+    declareNamespace() method, they will be serialized even if those
+    namespaces are not used in that scope.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Because of this behavior, if a fragment of the XML is serialized, it will
+also be <i>namespace qualified</i> with the necessary namespace
+declarations.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an example that shows how to write the output to the console, with
+reference to the earlier code sample (Code listing  2.1 ) that created a SOAP
+envelope.</p>
+
+<p></p>
+<pre class="code">XMLStreamWriter writer = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(System.out);
+//dump the output to console with caching
+envelope.serializeWithCache(writer); 
+writer.flush();</pre>
+<pre class="code">&nbsp;</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 2.8</b></div>
+
+<p>The above mentioned features of the serializer forces a correct
+serialization even if only a part of the OM tree is serialized. The following
+serializations show how the serialization mechanism takes the trouble to
+accurately figure out the namespaces. The example is from code listing 2.6
+which creates a small OM programmatically. Serialization of the root element
+produces</p>
+<pre class="xml">&lt;x:root xmlns:x="bar" xmlns:y="bar1"&gt;
+ &lt;x:foo&gt;
+   &lt;y:yuck&gt;blah&lt;/y:yuck&gt;
+ &lt;/x:foo&gt;
+&lt;/x:root&gt;</pre>
+
+<p>However serialization of only the foo element produces</p>
+<pre class="xml">&lt;x:foo xmlns:x="bar"&gt;
+&lt;y:yuck xmlns:y="bar1"&gt;blah&lt;/y:yuck&gt;
+&lt;/x:foo&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<p>Note how the serializer puts the relevant namespace declarations in place.
+Complete code for the OM based document building and serialization The
+following code segment shows how to use the OM for completely building a
+document and then serializing it into text pushing the output to the console.
+Only the important sections are shown here and the complete program listing
+can be found in the appendix.</p>
+<pre class="code">//create the parser

+<h2>Section 3 - Advanced Operations with OM</h2>
+
+<h3>Use of the OMNavigator for Traversal</h3>
+
+<p>OM provides a utility class to navigate the OM structure. The navigator
+provides an in-order traversal of the OM tree up to the last-built node. The
+Navigator has two states called the navigable state and the completion state.
+Since the navigator provides the navigation starting from an OMElement, it is
+deemed to have completed the navigation when the starting node is reached
+again. This state is known as the completion state. Once the navigator has
+reached the complete status its navigation is done and it cannot proceed
+anymore.</p>
+
+<p>It is possible that the OM tree does not get built completely when it is
+navigated. The navigable status shows whether the tree structure is
+navigable. When the navigator is complete it is not navigable anymore.
+However it is possible for a navigator to become non-navigable without being
+complete. The following code sample shows how the navigator should be used
+and handled using its states.</p>
+<pre class="code">//Create a navigator
+OMNavigator navigator = new OMNavigator(envelope);
+OMNode node = null;
+while (navigator.isNavigable()) {
+     node = navigator.next();
+}</pre>
+
+<div align="left">
+<b>Code listing 3.1</b></div>
+
+<h3>Accessing the Pull Parser</h3>
+
+<p>OM is tightly integrated with StAX and the
+getXMLStreamReader()/getXMLStreamReaderWithoutCaching() methods in the
+OMElement provides a XMLStreamReader object. This XMLStreamReader instance
+has a special capability of switching between the underlying stream and the
+OM object tree if the cache setting is off. However this functionality is
+completely transparent to the user. This is further explained in the
+following paragraphs.</p>
+
+<p>&nbsp;OM has the concept of caching, and OM is the actual cache of the
+events fired. However the requester can choose to get the pull events from
+the underlying stream rather than the OM tree. This can be achieved by
+getting the pull parser with the cache off. If the pull parser was obtained
+without switching off cache, the new events fired will be cached and the tree
+updated. This returned pull parser will switch between the object structure
+and the stream underneath and the users need not worry about the differences
+caused by the switching. The exact pull stream the original document would
+have provided would be produced even if the OM tree was fully/partially
+built. The getXMLStreamReaderWithoutCaching() method is very useful when the
+events need to be handled in a pull based manner without any intermediate
+models. This makes such operations faster and efficient. </p>

+
+<p>Note that the same Namespace is serialized twice. This XML is semantically
+correct but the same semantics could have been achieved by placing the y

+is deliberately kept unchanged since such optimizations slow down the common

+<h1>Service Archive Wizard - Eclipse Plug-in</h1>
+<p>Axis2 comes with a simple service archiver tool. This tool provides easy to use functionality to develop a axis archive or an "aar" file or a "jar" file that can be deployed as a web service to the Axis2. This tool is in the form of 
+an Eclipse plug-in and can be downloaded from the downloads section. This document describes how the tool can be used.</p>
+<h2>Installation</h2>
+<p>
+Download the binary version of the plug-in and extract the content of the zip 
+file into the Eclipse installation folder. (The plug-in will actually go into 
+the plugins directory in the Eclipse installation root). Restarting Eclipse will set 
+the plug-in automatically.
+</p>
+<h2>Operation</h2>
+<p>If the plug-in is properly installed you should see a new wizard under the 
+&quot;New&quot; section.(use the File -&gt; New -&gt; Other or Ctrl + N ) </p>
+<p align="center">
+<img border="0" src="images/tools/service/ServiceWizardSelection.jpg" width="500" height="500"></p>
+<p>Selecting the wizard and pressing the next button will start the service
+generator wizard. Following is the first wizard page.</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/ServicePage1.jpg" width="500" height="500"></p>
+<p>Once the class file folder&nbsp; is given (which should be a folder in the file 
+system) the next button will be enabled. Page 2 of the wizard requires you to 
+locate the wsdl file. Note that the WSDL file cannot be skipped in this version of the tool</p>
+<p align="center">
+<img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page2.JPG" width="500" height="500"></p>
+<p align="center">Select the service.XML file in the next wizard page</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page3.JPG" width="500" height="500"></p>
+<p>Note that The service XML file can be generated if needed. To proceed
+to the service generaion page, check the "generate automatically" checkbox. </p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page3_hl.JPG"></p>
+
+<p>If the automatic mode is not selected then the wizard
+will directly jump to the library selection page. However if the automatic mode is selected the wizard will show the
+following page</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page4_plain.JPG" width="500" height="500"></p>
+<p>This is a somewhat complicated page. The service name textbox should include the name of the service that you
+wish to give this service. 
+For the implementation class type in the fully qualified class name and hit the load button to view the operations</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page4_load.JPG" ></p>
+<p> The loaded operations should be displayed in a table. Once this is displayed you can filter the methods by selecting/deselcting the methods using the checkbox at each row.</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page4_table.JPG" width="500" height="500"></p>
+<p>Further filtering can be achieved by using the "search declared methods" only checkbox</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page4_search_declared.JPG" ></p>
+<p>Once the method selection is complete the wizard has enough information to generate a basic services.xml file. If further customization is required, there's no choice but to manually edit it!</p>
+<p>The next step is to add the libraries. The library addition page looks like this </p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page5.JPG" ></p>
+<p>The library name (with full path) can be either typed on the text box or browsed for using the browse button. </p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page5_browsed.JPG" ></p>
+<p>Hit the Add button to add the library to the list. The added libraries should be displayed in the list box</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page5_hl.JPG" ></p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page5_added.JPG" ></p>
+<p>If any library needs to be removed, highlight it in the list and hit remove. Click next to proceed to the last page of the wizard</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page5_remove.JPG" ></p>
+<p>The last page of the wizard asks for the output location and the output archive name.<p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/service_page6.JPG" ></p>
+<p>Once all the parameters are filled, hit the finish button to complete the wizard and generate the 
+service archive.</p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/success_msg.JPG"></p>
+<p> If you see the above message, then you've successfully generated the service archive!  This service archive can be hot deployed to the axis2</p>
+<p> The plugin also adds a help document to the Eclipse help system. You should see it if you go to Eclipse help content </p>
+<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/tools/service/help.JPG"></p>

+<h1>ADB Integration With Axis2</h1>
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>ADB Integration with Axis2 is simple and straightforward. Given the
+extension mechanism of the Axis2 code generator, the obvious choice for the
+integrator is to write an extension. The extension that is added to support
+ADB is the SimpleDBExtension and can be found in the extensions list of the
+codegen-config.properties file</p>
+
+<h2>Things to Remember</h2>
+<ol>
+  <li>The SimpleDBExtension adds a prefix to the ADB packaging. This prefix
+    is curently adb, hence all the ADB generated code will be inside the
+    adb.* package. This prefix is used by the ant build file template and any
+    change done to this prefix needs to be carefully handled in order to keep
+    the ant build intact.</li>
+  <li>SimpleDBExtension is made to process requests only when the databinding
+    framework is specified as ADB (using the switch -d adb )</li>
+</ol>

+<h1>Axis2 Databinding Framework</h1>
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>The objective of the Axis2Databinding framework is to provide a
+lightweight and simple schema compiler/ Java bean generator for Axis2. By no
+means it's to be a fully functional schema compiler like XMLBeans. This
+document aims to provide the architectural overview of the Axis2 Databinding
+Framework (referred to as ADB from here onwards) and be a guide to anyone who
+wants to use and modify ADB. Note that ADB is written in a fashion that
+allows it to be used as a standalone schema compiler and also to be extended
+to generate code for other languages.</p>
+
+<h2>Architectural Overview</h2>
+
+<p>ADB is built on a modular architecture that allows it to utilize a pre
+configured writer depending on the configuration.The 'big block diagram' for
+the code generator architecture is depicted below</p>
+
+<p><img src="images/ADB.jpg"/></p>
+
+<p>ADB utilizes the WS-commons XmlSchema library for reading the Schema. The
+object model for the schema comes in the form of a XmlSchema object. The
+schema compiler keeps an instance of the writer (in the default case it's the
+JavaBeanWriter) which actually writes the classes. The writers may use
+whatever the technique they prefer, as in the case of the JavaBeanWriter,
+they use an XSLT template. The SchemaCompiler also uses a typemapper object
+that tells it what classnames to be used for the QNames that it encounters.
+This type mapper is also part of the configuration and the users can override
+the default type mapper by overriding the property setting.</p>
+
+<h2>Code and Dependencies</h2>
+
+<p>As explained in the previous section, the schema compiler depends on the
+WS-Commons XmlSchema library. The XSLT transformations are dependent on the
+JVM's DOMimplementation (either crimson or xerces) which means that the
+underlying JVM should be 1.4 or higher. Apart from that ADB has no special
+dependencies on any other special jar files. The code for the schema compiler
+is completely in the <strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.*</strong>
+package. This package resides in the codegen module of the Axis2 source
+tree.</p>
+
+<p>Following are the important classes and files</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>SchemaCompiler - The work horse that really compiles the schema into
+    classes.</li>
+  <li>BeanWriter - BeanWriter represents the kind of interface the
+    SchemaCompiler accepts as a writer. The writer needs to handle the actual
+    writing of the clasess</li>
+  <li>JavaBeanWriter - The default implementation of the BeanWriter
+  interface.</li>
+  <li>TypeMap - represents the interface that the schema compiler looks
+    towards to find classes</li>
+  <li>JavaTypeMap - the default implementation of the TypeMap</li>
+  <li>BeanTemplate.xsl - the XSLtemplate the JavaBeanWriter uses.</li>
+  <li>Schema-compile.properties - The property file for the schema
+  compiler</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The easiest way to obtain the ADB binaries is to run the maven build for
+the codegen module. This will generate the codegen-{$version}.jar inside the
+target folder which is directly usable when the ADB schema compiler is
+required.</p>
+
+<h2>Invoking the ADB Code Generator</h2>
+
+<h3>As a standalone schema compiler</h3>
+
+<p>ADB comes with a mainclass XSD2Java that allows the schemas to be compiled
+just by giving the schema file reference.This main class is pretty much
+primitive and does not provide much control over the code generation process.
+This is bound to improve in the near future.</p>
+
+<p>Code generator accepts the follwing parameters</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>The Schema file name - This should be a complete file name pointing to
+    the local file system</li>
+  <li>The output folder name - This should be the name of a folder within the
+    local fileSystem</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Since the main class has no validations built in, the compiler is likely
+to cough up an unexpected error message if these parameters are not supplied
+properly.</p>
+
+<h3>Through the API</h3>
+
+<p>This is the only way to harness the full potential of the schema compiler.
+The current Axis2 integration of ADB happens through this API. The most
+important classes and methods of the Schema compiler are as follows.</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>SchemaCompiler - Constructor
+    <p>The constructor of the schema compiler expects a CompilerOptions
+    object. This compilerOptions object is more of a holder for the
+    parameters that are passed to the SchemaCompiler. The only mandatory
+    parameter in the CompilerOptions is the output directory</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>SchemaCompiler - Compile(XMLSchema schema)
+    <p>The compile method to call for a single schema. The expected object is
+    a XMLSchema which is part of the XmlSchema library.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>SchemaCompiler - Compile(List schemaList)
+    <p>Similar to the previous method but accepts a list of schemas instead
+    of one.</p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>For a comprehensive code sample in invoking the schema compiler throught
+the API, the following classes would be helpful</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.XSD2Java</strong></li>
+  <li><strong>org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.extension.SimpleDBExtension</strong></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Deep into the Generated Code</h2>
+
+<p>When the schema compiler is invoked (oneway or another) it generates code
+depending on the following rules</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>All named complex types become bean classes. Any attribute or element
+    encapsulated in this complex type will become a field in the generated
+    class. Note that the support for constructs other than the sequence and
+    all is not yet implemented.</li>
+  <li>All top level elements become classes. This is rather a questioning
+    feature but unless classes are generated for the top level elements the
+    handling of elements become difficult and messy!</li>
+  <li>SimpleType restrictions are handled by replacing the relevant type with
+    the basetype</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Once the code is generated according to the rules it looks like the
+following. Consider the follwing piece of schema</p>
+<pre>&lt;schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
+xmlns:tns="http://soapinterop.org/types" targetNamespace="http://soapinterop.org/types"&gt;
+&lt;import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/&gt;
+ &lt;complexType name="SOAPStruct"&gt;
+  &lt;sequence&gt;
+   &lt;element name="varString" type="xsd:string"/&gt;
+   &lt;element name="varInt" type="xsd:int"/&gt;
+   &lt;element name="varFloat" type="xsd:float"/&gt;
+  &lt;/sequence&gt;
+ &lt;/complexType&gt;
+&lt;element name="myElement" type="tns:SOAPStruct"/&gt;
+&lt;/schema&gt;</pre>
+
+<p>This particular schema generates the following two classes in the
+designated package. This package is derived from the target Namespace of the
+schema.</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>myElement.java</li>
+  <li>SOAPStruct.java</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>As explained earlier, SOAPStruct refers to the complexType. MyElement is
+the class that refers to the element.Just as expected, the SOAPStruct bean
+has getters and Setters for varString,varInt and varFloat which are a
+String,an int and a float respectively.myElement on the other hand has a
+single field representing the SOAPStruct object that it encapsulates.</p>
+
+<p>The most important aspect of the generated code is that it encapsulates
+two methods for creation and serializing the beans.Note that to make this
+work, the generated beans implement the
+<strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBBean</strong> interface</p>
+
+<p>The creator and reader methods look like the following</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><pre>public javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader
+    getPullParser(javax.xml.namespace.QName qName)</pre>
+    <p>This method returns a pull parser that throws the right events for
+    this particular object. However there is a subtle difference between
+    element based classes and complexType based classes</p>
+    <ol>
+      <li>An element based bean class (like myElement.java in the example)
+        will ignore the passed in QName. instead of using the passed in QName
+        it'll utilize it's own QName which is embedded in the class under the
+        constant MY_QNAME,during the code generation.</li>
+      <li>A ComplexType based bean class(like SOAPStruct.java in the example)
+        will use the passed on QName to return an instance of the
+        ADBpullparser. This will effectively wrap the elements inside with an
+        element having the passed QName</li>
+    </ol>
+  </li>
+  <li><pre> public static [Object] 
+             parse(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader reader) 
+             throws java.lang.Exception </pre>
+    <p>This method returns a populated instance of the class in
+    question.(Note that</p>
+    <pre>[Object]</pre>
+    will be replaced by the actual class that contains this method. Say for
+    SOAPStruct the method looks like
+    <pre>public static SOAPStruct 
+                parse(javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader reader) 
+                throws java.lang.Exception </pre>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>An Example!</h3>
+
+<p>Consider the follwing XML fragment</p>
+<pre>&lt;myElement&gt;
+  &lt;varInt&gt;5&lt;/varInt&gt;
+  &lt;varString&gt;Hello&lt;/varString&gt;
+  &lt;varFloat&gt;3.3&lt;/varFloat&gt;
+&lt;/myElement&gt;</pre>
+
+<p>Enthusiastic readers might already have figured out that this piece of XML
+complies to the Schema mentioned above. The following piece of code shows how
+to build a populated instance of myElement with this fragment of XML</p>
+
+<p></p>
+<pre>XMLStreamReader reader = XMLInputFactory.newInstance().
+                                createXMLStreamReader(
+                                        new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes()));
+myElement elt = myElement.parse(reader);</pre>
+
+<p>Although this example takes on the tedious effort of creating a reader out
+of the String, inside the Axis2 environment an XMLStreamReader can be
+direclty asked from the OMElement! Hence the parse method becomes a hugh
+advantage for hassle free object creation.</p>
+
+<p>Similarly the reader obtained from the object can also be utilized as
+needed. The following code fragment shows how to utilize the getPullParser
+method to create an OMElement</p>
+
+<p></p>
+<pre>XMLStreamReader reader = elt.getPullParser(null);
+OMElement omElt =  new StAXOMBuilder(reader).getDocumentElement();</pre>
+
+<p>That's all to it! If you are interested in learning more on ADB the
+following documents may also be helpful</p>

+<h2>Known Limitations</h2>
+ADB is meant to be a 'Simple' databinding framework and was not meant to
+compile all types of schemas. The following limitations are the most
+highlighted.
+<ol>
+  <li>Complex Extensions and Restrictions are not supported.</li>
+  <li>Choice (Particle) is not supported</li>
+  <li>SimpleType Unions are not supported</li>
+</ol>

+<h1>ADB Tweaking Guide</h1>
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>ADB is written with future extensions in mind, with a clear and flexible
+way to extend or modify it's functionality. This document explains available
+mechanisms to extend ADB and possibly adopt it to compile schemas to support
+other languages.</p>
+
+<h2>Know the Configuration</h2>
+
+<p>The configuration for the ADB framework is in the
+<strong>schema-compile.properties</strong> file found in the
+<strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema</strong> package. This properties
+file has the following important properties</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>schema.bean.writer.class
+    <p>This is the writer class. This is used by the schema compiler to write
+    the beans and should implement the
+    <strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.writer.BeanWriter</strong>
+    inteface. The schema compiler delegates the bean writing task to the
+    specified instance of the BeanWriter.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>schema.bean.writer.template
+    <p>This specifies the template to be used in the BeanWriter. The
+    beanWriter author is free to use any mechanism to write the classes but
+    the default mechanism is to use a xsl template. This property may be left
+    blank if the BeanWriter implementation does not require a template.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>schema.bean.typemap
+    <p>This is the type map to be used by the schema compiler. it should be
+    an implementation of the
+    <strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.typemap</strong> interface.
+    The default typemap implementation encapsulates a hashmap with type QName
+    to Class name string mapping.</p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>The First Tweak - Generate Plain Java Beans</h2>
+
+<p>The first, most simple tweak for the code generator could be to switch to
+plain bean generation. The default behavior of the ADB framework is to
+generate ADBBeans, but most users, if they want to use ADB as a standalone
+compiler, would love to have plain java beans. This can infact be done by
+simply changing the template used.</p>
+
+<p>The template for plain java beans is already available in the
+<strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.template </strong>package. To
+make this work replace the
+<strong>/org/apache/axis2/databinding/schema/template/ADBBeanTemplate.xsl
+</strong>with the
+<strong>/org/apache/axis2/databinding/schema/template/PlainBeanTemplate.xsl
+</strong>in the schema-compile.properties<strong>.</strong> Congratualtions!
+You just tweaked ADB to generate plain java beans.</p>
+
+<p>To generate custom formats, the templates need to be modified. The schema
+for the xml generated by the JavaBeanWriter is availble in the source tree
+under the Other directory in the codegen module. Advanced users with
+knowledge of XSLT can easily modify the templates to generate code in their
+own formats.</p>
+
+<h2>A More Advanced Tweak - Generate Code for Another Language</h2>
+
+<p>To generate code for another language, there are two main components are
+to be written.</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>The BeanWriter
+    <p>Implement the BeanWriter interface for this class. A nice example is
+    the
+    <strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.writer.JavaBeanWriter</strong>
+    which has a lot of reusable code. Infact if the language is OOP based
+    (such as C# or even C++), one would even be able to extend the
+    JavaBeanWriter itself.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>The TypeMap
+    <p>Implement the TypeMap interface for this class. The
+    <strong>org.apache.axis2.databinding.schema.typemap.JavaTypeMap</strong>
+    class is a simple implementation for the typemap where the QName to class
+    name strings are kept inside a hashmap instance. This technique is fairly
+    sufficient and only the type names would need to change to support
+    another language.</p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Surprisngly this is enough to have other language support for ADB. Change
+the configuration and you are ready to generate code for other lanuages!</p>

+<title>Axis2 Configuration Documents</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+<p>In Axis2 there are three kinds of configuration files to configure the system. 
+First one configuration file is to configure whole system, second one is to 
+configure a service and the third one is to configure a module. 
+<ul>
+<li><a href="#global">Global Configuration (axis2.xml)</a></li>
+<li><a href="#service">Service Configuration (services.xml)</a></li>
+<li><a href="#module">Module Configuration (module.xml)</a></li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<br>
+
+<font color="blue"><b>Global Configuration </b></font>
+<li><a name="global"></a>Writing axis2.xml</li>
+<p>
+  All the configuration that requires starting axis2 is obtained from axis2.xml. 
+	The way of specifying them is very simple and easy. The document is all about 
+	the proper way of specifying the configurations in axis2.xml.
+	There are six top level elements that can be seen in the configuration 
+	file and those can be listed as follows;
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Parameter</li>
+<li>Transport Receiver</li>
+<li>Transport Sender</li>
+<li>Phase Order</li>
+<li>Module References</li>
+<li>Listeners (Observers)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><b>Parameter </b>
+<br>
+In axis2 a parameter is nothing but name value pair, each and every top level 
+parameter available in the axis2.xml (direct sub elements of root element) will 
+be transformed into properties in AxisConfiguration. Therefore the top level 
+parameters in configuration document can be accessed via AxisConfiguration in 
+the running system. The correct way of defining a parameter looks like what is shown below;
+<source><pre> 
+  &lt;parameter name="name of the parameter" &gt;parameter value &lt;/parameter&gt;
+</pre></source>
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Transport Receiver</b><br>
+Depending on the underline transport that axis going to be run , 
+need to have different transport receivers so the way of adding 
+them to the system can be done as follows;
+<source><pre> 
+&lt;transportReceiver name="http" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.SimpleHTTPServer"&gt;
+        &lt;parameter name="port" &gt;6060&lt;/parameter&gt;
+ &lt;/transportReceiver&gt; 
+ </pre></source>
+
+The above elements shows the way of defining transport receivers in axis2.xml , 
+here name attribute of the 'transportReceiver' element is the name of transport
+it can be http, tcp , smtp , commonshttp stc , and when the system starts up or 
+when setting transport at the client side one can use these transport names to
+ load the appropriate transport. Class attribute is to specify actual java 
+ class which implements required interfaces for the transport. Any transport 
+ can have zero or more parameters, and if there are any, then those parameters 
+ can be accessed via the corresponding transport receiver. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>Transport Senders</b><br>
+As same as transport receivers it is possible to register transport senders in the 
+system, and latter at the run time those senders can be used to send the messages. 
+As an example consider Axis2 running under tomcat, then axis can use TCP transport 
+senders to send message rather than HTTP. The way of specifying transport senders is as follows:
+<source><pre> 
+&lt;transportSender name="http" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender"&gt;
+        &lt;parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="xsd:false"&gt;HTTP/1.0&lt;/parameter&gt;
+ &lt;/transportSender&gt; 
+ </pre></source>
+name: Name of the transport (it is possible to have http and http1 as transport name)
+Class: Implementation class of the corresponding transport. 
+
+As same as transport receivers, transport senders can have zero or more parameters, 
+and if there is any then it can be accessed via corresponding transport sender. 
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Phase Order</b><br> 
+The specifying order of phases in execution chain has to be done using phase 
+order element and it will be look like below;
+<source><pre>
+&lt;phaseOrder type="inflow"&gt;
+         &lt;phase name="TransportIn"/&gt;
+         …………………………………
+         …………………………………….
+&lt;/phaseOrder&gt;   
+</pre></source>
+
+The most interesting thing is that you can add handlers here as well , if you want to add a handler which should go in to that phase you can directly do that by adding a handler element into it . In addition to that there is no any hard coding stuffs for handler  chain in anywhere in Axis2 (at any Axis*) , so all theose configuration are alos done here in phase order element. The complete configuration will look like as follows;
+
+<source><pre>
+&lt;phaseOrder type="inflow""&gt;
+        &lt;!--  System pre defined phases       --"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="TransportIn"/"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="PreDispatch"/"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="Dispatch""&gt;
+            &lt;handler name="AddressingBasedDispatcher"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.AddressingBasedDispatcher""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="Dispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+             &lt;handler name="RequestURIBasedDispatcher"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.RequestURIBasedDispatcher""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="Dispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+             &lt;handler name="SOAPActionBasedDispatcher"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.SOAPActionBasedDispatcher""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="Dispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+             &lt;handler name="SOAPMessageBodyBasedDispatcher"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.SOAPMessageBodyBasedDispatcher""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="Dispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+        &lt;/phase"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="PostDispatch""&gt;
+             &lt;handler name="DispatchPostConditionsEvaluator"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.DispatchingChecker""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="PostDispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+            &lt;handler name="InstanceDispatcher"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.InstanceDispatcher""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="PostDispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+            &lt;handler name="SOAPProcessingModelChecker"
+                     class="org.apache.axis2.engine.SOAPProcessingModelChecker""&gt;
+                &lt;order phase="PostDispatch"/"&gt;
+            &lt;/handler"&gt;
+        &lt;/phase"&gt;
+        &lt;!--  System pre defined phases       --"&gt;
+        &lt;!--   After Postdispatch phase module author or or service author can add any phase he want      --"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="userphase1"/"&gt;
+    &lt;/phaseOrder"&gt;
+    &lt;phaseOrder type="outflow""&gt;
+        &lt;!--      user can add his own phases to this area  --"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="userphase1"/"&gt;
+        &lt;!--system predefined phase--"&gt;
+        &lt;!--these phase will run irrespective of the service--"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="PolicyDetermination"/"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="MessageOut"/"&gt;
+    &lt;/phaseOrder"&gt;
+    &lt;phaseOrder type="INfaultflow""&gt;
+        &lt;!--      user can add his own phases to this area  --"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="userphase1"/"&gt;
+    &lt;/phaseOrder"&gt;
+    &lt;phaseOrder type="Outfaultflow""&gt;
+        &lt;!--      user can add his own phases to this area  --"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="userphase1"/"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="PolicyDetermination"/"&gt;
+        &lt;phase name="MessageOut"/"&gt;
+    &lt;/phaseOrder"&gt;
+</pre></source>
+
+type: the attribute represent type of the flow and which can only be one of the following
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>inflow</li>
+<li>outflow</li>
+<li>INfaultflow</li>
+<li>Outfaultflow</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In addition to that only child element allowed inside pahseOrder is phase 
+element, which represents available phases in the execution chain.  
+The way of specifying phase inside phaseOrder has to be done as follows;
+<source><pre>
+ &lt;phase name="TransportIn"/&gt;
+</pre></source>
+name: Name of the phase.
+<br>
+There are number of things that one has to keep in mind when changing pahseOrder, 
+<ul>
+<ol>there are phases called system pre-defined phases in all four flows;</ol>
+<ol>You are not allowed change those  , and you can add new phase after system pre-defined phase</ol
+<ol>If you closely look at the default axis2.xml can clearly identify that.  </ol>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Module References</b><br>
+If you want to engage a module system wide you can do it by adding top 
+level module element in axis2.xml.  It should be look like following:
+<source><pre>
+&lt;module ref="addressing"/&gt;  
+</pre></source>
+ref: the module name which is going to be engage, system wide.
+
+Listeners (Observers)
+In Axis2 AxisConfiguration is observable so that one can register observers into 
+that, and they will be automatically informed whenever a change occurs in 
+AxisConfiuration. In the current implementation the observers are informed of the following events
+
+<ul>
+<li>Deploying a Service</li>
+<li>Removing a service</li>
+<li>Changing a service</li> 
+</ul>
+Registering Observers is very useful for additional features such as RSS feed 
+generation which will provide service information to subscribers. The correct
+ way of registering observers should be like below;
+<source><pre>
+&lt;listener class="org.apache.axis2.ObserverIMPL"&gt;
+    &lt;parameter name="RSS_URL" &gt;http://127.0.0.1/rss&lt;/parameter&gt;
+  &lt;/listener&gt;
+</pre></source>
+class: Represent an Implementation class of observer, and it should be note
+ that the implementation class should implement AxisObserver interface,
+  and the class has to be available in the classpath. 
+</p>
+
+<br>
+
+<font color="blue"><b>Service Configuration</b></font>
+<li><a name="service"></a>Writing service.xml</li>
+<p>
+The description of service is specified using services.xml, each service archive 
+file need to have services.xml in order to be a valid service. And which has to be 
+available in META-INF directory of the archive file. 
+<br>
+A very simple services.xml is shown below:
+<source><pre>
+&lt;service &gt;
+    &lt;description&gt; The description of the service  &lt;/description&gt;
+
+    &lt;parameter name="ServiceClass"     locked="xsd:false"&gt;org.apache.axis2.sample.echo.EchoImpl&lt;/parameter&gt;
+    
+    &lt;operation name="echoString"&gt;
+        &lt;module ref=" a module name "/&gt;
+        &lt;messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.receivers.RawXMLINOutMessageReceiver"/&gt;
+    &lt;/operation&gt;
+  &lt;/service&gt;
+</source></pre>
+
+service name: the service name will be the name of the archive file.
+<br>
+description: This is an optional element if you want to display any description 
+about the service via Axis2 web-admin module then the description can be specified here. 
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Parameter:</b><br>
+service.xml can have any number of top level parameters and all the specified 
+parameters will be transformed into service properties in corresponding ServiceDescrption. 
+There is a compulsory parameter in a service.xml called ServiceClass which specify the 
+java class which really does the job and the class will be loaded by MessageReceiver.
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Handler</b><br>
+Handler element consists of compulsory and optional attribute and the way of defining a handler will be look like follows;
+<source><pre>
+&lt;handler name="handler1" class="handlerClass "&gt;
+            &lt;order phase="userphase1" /&gt;
+ &lt;/handler&gt;
+</source></pre>
+
+<b><i>Compulsory attributes</i></b> <br>
+name: name of the handler<br>
+nlass: handler implementation class<br>
+phase: name of the phase that the handler should stay in the execution chain
+<br><br>
+<i><b>Optional attributes :</b></i><br>
+phaseLast: to indicate the handler is last handler of the phase<br>
+phaseFirst: to indicate the handler is first handler of the phase.<br>
+before : the handler should be invoked before the handler specified by before handler<br>
+after:  the handler should be invoked after the handler specified by after handler<br>
+</p>
+<p>
+<b>Operations</b><br>
+All the operations you are going to exposeby the service has to be indicated in the service.xml and the correct way of specifying that should be as follows:
+ <source><pre>
+    &lt;operation name="echoString"&gt;
+        &lt;module ref=" a module name "/&gt;
+        &lt;messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.receivers.RawXMLINOutMessageReceiver"/&gt;
+    &lt;/operation&gt;
+</source></pre>
+Only compulsory attribute here is name, which represent the operation name that is going to be exposed. Any operation can contains module references, any number of parameters. The most interesting is that one can register custom message receiver per operation, then the registered message receiver will be the message receiver for the corresponding operation. If one does not specify the message receiver then the default message receiver will do the job. 
+</p>
+<br>
+
+<font color="blue"><b>Module Configuration</b></font>
+<li><a name="module"></a>Writing module.xml</li>
+<p>
+The description of module is specified using module.xml, each module archive file need to have module.xml in order to be a valid module. And which has to be available in META-INF directory of the archive file. 
+<br>
+A very simple module.xml is shown below:
+<source><pre>
+&lt;module name="module1" class="org.apache.module.Module1Impl"&gt;
+    &lt;inflow&gt;
+        …………………….
+    &lt;/inflow&gt;
+    &lt;outflow&gt;
+       ………………………
+    &lt;/outflow&gt;
+
+    &lt;Outfaultflow&gt;
+       ………………………..
+    &lt;/Outfaultflow&gt;
+
+    &lt;INfaultflow&gt;
+      ………………………….
+    &lt;/INfaultflow&gt;
+
+    &lt;operation name="creatSeq" mep="MEP_URI_IN_OUT"&gt;
+        &lt;messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.receivers.RawXMLINOutMessageReceiver"/&gt;
+        &lt;parameter name="para1" locked="xsd:true"&gt;10&lt;/parameter&gt;
+    &lt;/operation&gt;
+&lt;/module&gt;
+</source></pre>
+
+name: This is a compulsory attribute and which indicates the name of the module
+<br>
+class: This is an optional attribute which indicate module implementation class, a module may or may not contain module implementation class since the module can also be a collection of handlers. If a module contains an implementation class which implements the org.apache.axis2.modules.Module inteface where at the deployment time its init(); method will be called. 
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>parameter:</b>
+Module can contains any number of parameters and all the listed parameters in the module.xml will be transformed into corresponding ModuleDescription of the module. 
+</p
+<p>
+<b>Flow :</b><br>
+It is possible to add handlers into a flow directly form service.xml rather than 
+engaging a modules and the way of doing that is through flow elements. 
+It is possible to add any number of handlers into a flow and those handlers 
+will be available in corresponding operations flows in the service 
+(inflow consist of two parts, one part is up to post dispatch phase and other 
+part is consisting of operation handlers)  
+<br>
+There are four types of valid flows that can be available in service.xml,
+ and the adding the handles into them can be done by following the above procedure. 
+<br>
+Valid flows:
+<ul>
+<li>Inflow</li>
+<li>outflow</li>
+<li>INfaultflow</li>
+<li>Outfaultflow</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>operations</b>
+If a module wants to add an operation when it is engaged into a service it can be done by adding operation tag in module.xml and the way of specifying the operation is same as operation in service.xml.

+or HTTP/1.1. Default version is HTTP/1.1. It should be noted that chunking
+support is available only for HTTP/1.1. Thus, the user should be careful in
+setting the "chunked" property, to use it only with version 1.1. KeepAlive
+property is default in version 1.1.</p>
+
+<p>These are the only parameters that are available from deployment. Other
+parameters such as character encoding style (UTF-8, UTF-16 etc) etc, are
+provided via MessageContext.</p>
+
+<h4>HTTPS support</h4>
+It should be noted that CommonsHTTPTransportSender can be used to communicate
+over https. <code></code>
+<pre>&lt;transportSender name="<b>https</b>" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender"&gt;<br>        &lt;parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="false"&gt;HTTP/1.1&lt;/parameter&gt;<br>        &lt;parameter name="Transfer-Encoding"&gt;chunked&lt;/parameter&gt;<br>&lt;/transportSender&gt;<br></pre>
+Please note that https works only when the server does not expect to
+authenticate the clients where the server has the clients' public keys in the
+its trust store.
+
+<h2>Timeout Configuraiton</h2>
+
+<p>There are two timeout exist in transport level. They are called, Socket
+timeout and Connection timeout. This can be configured in deployment time or
+in run time. In depoyment time, user has to add the following lines in
+axis2.xml.</p>
+
+<p>For Socket timoeout:</p>
+<pre>&lt;parameter name="SO_TIMEOUT" locked="false"&gt;some_int_value&lt;/parameter&gt;
+
+For Connection timeout: 
+
+&lt;parameter name="CONNECTION_TIMEOUT" locked="false"&gt;some_int_value&lt;/parameter&gt;
+
+In runtime it's set as follows in the Stub.</pre>
+<source><pre>...
+Options options = new Options();
+options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.SO_TIMEOUT,new Integer(some_int_value));
+options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT,new Integer(some_int_value));
+...</pre>
+</source>
+<p></p>
+
+<h2>Proxy and NTLM Authentication</h2>
+
+<p>HttpClient support "Basic, Digest and NTLM" authentication schemes. These
+are used to authenticate with http servers and proxies.</p>
+
+<p>Axis2 uses deployment time and runtime mechanisms to authenticate proxies.
+In deployment time, user has to change the Axis2.xml as follows. This
+authentication will be available in http and https.</p>
+<pre>&lt;transportSender name="<b>http</b>" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender"&gt;
+        &lt;parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="false"&gt;HTTP/1.1&lt;/parameter&gt;
+        &lt;parameter name="PROXY" proxy_host="proxy_host_name" proxy_port="proxy_host_port" locked="true&gt;userName:domain:passWord&lt;/parameter&gt;
+&lt;/transportSender&gt;<br></pre>
+
+<p>For a particular proxy, if authentication is not available fill
+"userName:domain:passWord"as "anonymous:anonymous:anonymous".</p>
+
+<p>At runtime user can override the PROXY settings with an Object of
+HttpTransportProperties.ProxyProperties. On the stub initiate an object of
+prior and and set it to the MessageContext's property bag via
+HttpConstants.PROXY. On the stub, it depicts as follows,</p>
+<pre>...
+Options options = new Options();
+....
+
+HttpTransportProperties.ProxyProperties proxyProperties = new HttpTransportProperties.ProxyProperties();
+proxyProperties.setProxyHostName(....);
+proxyProperties.setProxyPort(...);
+...
+options.setProperty(HttpConstants.PROXY, proxyProperties);
+....</pre>
+
+<p>The above code would eventually override the deployment proxy
+configuration settings.</p>
+
+<p>NTLM is the most complex of the authentication protocols supported by
+HttpClient. It requires an instance of NTCredentials be available for the
+domain name of the server or the default credentials. Note that since NTLM
+does not use the notion of realms HttpClient uses the domain name of the
+server as the name of the realm. Also note that the username provided to the
+NTCredentials should not be prefixed with the domain - ie: "axis2" is correct
+whereas "DOMAIN\axis2" is not correct.</p>
+
+<p>There are some significant differences in the way that NTLM works compared
+with basic and digest authentication. These differences are generally handled
+by HttpClient, however having an understanding of these differences can help
+avoid problems when using NTLM authentication.</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>NTLM authentication works almost exactly the same as any other form of
+    authentication in terms of the HttpClient API.  The only difference is
+    that you need to supply 'NTCredentials' instead of
+    'UsernamePasswordCredentials' (NTCredentials actually extends
+    UsernamePasswordCredentials so you can use NTCredentials right throughout
+    your application if need be).</li>
+  <li>The realm for NTLM authentication is the domain name of the computer
+    being connected to, this can be troublesome as servers often have
+    multiple domain names that refer to them.  Only the domain name that
+    HttpClient connects to (as specified by the HostConfiguration) is used to
+    look up the credentials. It is generally advised that while initially
+    testing NTLM authentication, you pass the realm in as null which is used
+    as the default.</li>
+  <li>NTLM authenticates a connection and not a request, so you need to
+    authenticate every time a new connection is made and keeping the
+    connection open during authentication is vital.  Due to this, NTLM cannot
+    be used to authenticate with both a proxy and the server, nor can NTLM be
+    used with HTTP 1.0 connections or servers that do not support HTTP
+    keep-alives.</li>
+</ol>
