I responded earlier to a similar question. The trouble here is that I was unable to get the allowed methods (also wsdl service name) to ant since it is only available through wsdls2ws. I tried to use the deploy.wsdd generated with the code as an ant properties file but could not find a way to iterate throught the parameter elements (since there are multiple elements with the same name) to get their values. If you can somehow generate the server.wsdd.PLATFORM files that would be great! May be I got your point wrong? Are you suggesting that an external subset be generated with the relevant path name and then that included in the server.wsdd.PLATFORM? I tried to do this as well but it wasn't working for some reason. still great if you can this even. > 3) The axiscpp_mod is not copied/deployed to the apache modules directory. > It is fine for the Apache config to be static, but as the axiscpp_mod > libraries are created as part of the build would it not be prudent to copy > it apache modules directory.

Since we are in the middle of a release we'd like to keep it functional. But if you can do these changes and make sure it doesn't break I guess it would be ok. It should anyway be ok after the 1.5 release to do these changes. > Regards, > > > Andrew Perry > IBM Web Services Client for C/C++ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mail Point 127 > IBM UK Laboratories.
