Hi, Yes, In server side, When invoking You can get msg_ctx using that
message context you will be able to get config_ctx or config.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have had a look at the echo service in samples and I can't see where the message context is used. After looking through the axis2 API more, I can see that the conf_ctx has a fair bit of configuration information in it, but it all seems specific to the axis2 environment. Is there a way to get custom configuration information into (and ultimately retrieve it from) this context struct? I also can't see a way, using the message context, to maintain state between web service calls - i.e. initialize a struct (or in my case, a C++ object pointer) and access the same object again the next time a call is made. Is this possible? It seems to be a conscious design decision that the apache environment is not visible within the service calls. Is there a way to get to the request_rec or server_rec objects created by apache, from within the service? Thanks, Shaun
