Yes, I found this last night. This should allow me to do elminate the runtime dependencies on AXISCPP_DEPLOY and axiscpp.conf. I'll just set a special key with a dummy value of everything was specified on the simple_axis_server command line, so that readConfFile(), which is always called from Axis::init_module() can detect that reading the file is not necessary. Of course, it will be backwards compatible, so that if nothing is specified on the command line, the config file will be read and the values extracted from there instead.
Thanks to Adrian and Henrik for the advice! I'll be able to work on this in a few days and reply with a patch, then.

Hi,
A configuration API was produced a while back, which I believe can provide
this capability.
Using the class AxisCPPConfigDefaults you can specify the various
properties you would find in axiscpp.conf.
Having just taken a quick look, you should find this class well documented
on how to use it correctly.
Regards,
Adrian
