Phases concept is too confusing - please change for v1.1
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-1120
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-1120
Project: Apache Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Thilo Frotscher
Priority: Blocker
With Axis2 1.0 it can easily happen that you engage a module with services
without realizing it!
This is because even if explicitly engaging a module with a *single* service or
a *single* operation, its handlers will automatically be invoked for *all*
services if they belong to a global phase. There's no warning messages or
anything that prevent's you from doing this. IMHO this bevaviour is very
confusing, especially for beginners.
I think there are two possible solutions to this:
- disallow engagement with single services or operations for all modules that
contain handlers in global phases
(at the very least, display a warning message that the module will actually
be invoked for *all* services)
- or make sure that handlers in global phases are *available* to all services,
but will only be invoked for services that they were *explicitly* engaged with
Either way, the release of Axis2 1.1 is a very good opportunity to change this
behaviour. The later you do this, the more backwards compatibility might have
to be sacrificed.
I am sure that many users will vote for this change once the use of Axis2 in
general and modules in particular is more widespread.
There was a discussion about this on the mailing list, but somehow it died out:

Please consider making this change for v1.1
Thanks!
