It is not possible to access the services.xml file. However, you can access the content made available inside the services.xml file which will be loaded into the service's configuration. Refer, 1. axis2_svc_ctx.h 2. axis2_svc.h That is the API. > > > 2. My other question concerns AXIS2.XML. Can I also add/modify > parameters via my Web Service? What is the API? Same here. The axis2.xml will be loaded into the engine configuration. If you can fill the right information into the right place, the engine will be blind enough to believe that it has been there since the right beginning. Your attention will have to be paid to, 1. axis2_conf_ctx.h 2. axis2_conf.h > > > > > In addition to that, to understand how the engine loads to itself the configuration information, go through source found inside the src/core/deployment sub directory. I know this sounds hard, but, it wouldn't be a big deal to figure out what should be done. If you want to write to axis2.xml and services.xml, you will basically have to release any thread locks applied on them, and also, you will have to use an xml writer. The engine only reads these at present and does not write. For hot deployment, you will need only to read, but for hot modifications, you will have to write. Feel free to introduce new API. But, it is strongly advised not to change the existing API. I mean the method signatures not the body here. Of course you can modify the body. Please raise an issue on the Axis2/C JIRA so that other developers can get involved too.
