isolation of web services deployed on axis

[Len Takeuchi <lt...@salescentrix.com>]

Hello,

Is there any mechanism available in axis to achieve some level of isolation
between web service implementations?  If two web services depend on using
different versions of classes with the same name how can each web service
get the right version, given that the implementations go in the classes or
lib directory of the axis web application.  What I'm looking for is
something like the way each web application deployed on a servlet engine
gets its own classloading space.

Regards,
Len Takeuchi

Greetings,

I believe (I might be wrong) there is no easy way to achieve this. One
workaround (if you are using tomcat) would be to create multiples
services in server.xml, each one having its own webapp/axis tree. Yo
could use simlinks to avoid copying all the classes over.

That way you can have multiple axis services listening in different
ports, each of wich should have its own set of classes.

Maybe someone will correct me if there is an easiest way?

the trick is to stop having multiple apps in the axis webapp, and move to
one webapp per app, each with the axis libs (and servlets in web.xml)
