[Axis2] services.xml

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

Hi,

Can anyone answer a few simple questions:

1) I don't think this is possible, but wanted to ask.  Can you define more than one service in services.xml?

2) I have seen serviceGroups defined, but do not know their exact purpose (somehow relating services together)?
Couldn't find any documentation on the subject.

3) Can the service implementation class reside in lib/my.jar or does it have to be in top level class?  I assume
it can be in a bundled jar in the .aar just like other dependent jars (assuming classloading is working properly),
but haven't tried it.  I have always deployed with the implementation class unjar'ed.

Thanks.

Yes, thats the reason why it was renamed to services.xml from service.xml.

Yep, it is to categorize related services together so that one can share
some information across services using ServiceGroupContext.

I think yes. You can put the service impl classes as a jar in lib folder.

Hi,

than one service in services.xml?

yes , you can have more than one serivce element in services.xml and that we 
called service group; and the way is as follows
<serviceGroup>
  <service name="foo"></service>
  <service name="baa"></service>
</serviceGroup>

2) I have seen serviceGroups defined, but do not know their exact purpose

well that is easy way of deploying mutiple services in one aar file , and in 
the meanwhile at the run time you can manage sessions accros services using 
serviceGroup contex for that service group

yes you can put ur service impl class itself as a seperate jar inside aar
