Hi Ruwan,
This is certainly a good feature if you can add. But I can remember
XFire was doing something similar to this. This is how it worked, IIRC.
If you have a service (say Foo) with only one operation (bar) , then
when you invoke the service (without the operation name), then that
request goes to the only operation. Meaning both
http://<host>:<port>/axis2/services/Foo and
http://<host>:<port>/axis2/services/Foo/bar are the same.
If this bar operation adheres to IRI style (please check IRI style in
WSDL 2.0 spec), then doing a GET operation on this service should invoke
bar operation in a RESTful manner (oops, POX over HTTP).
So if you implement GET request to return the service description, then
there might be conflict. If you just invoke the operation with
http://<host>:<port>/axis2/services/Foo, then axis2 will send the famous
operation not found error. I know the above feature is not implemented.
, but that is something cool I saw in XFire.
This is just a suggestion and noway this should be considered as an
objection to your initial proposal. A small disclaimer ;)
Thanks,
Chinthaka

Hi axis2 folks,
We (synapse-dev) is in the process of doing some refactoring on the GET
request processors. For the moment we do provide a service information
html page on doing a GET request on the service path and discussing to
add a ?info filter for that and keep the original service path for any
other thing (may be we can provide a configuration point so that user
can configure that path to provide the wsdl of the service instead)
What is the behavior of the axis2 in this service path navigation
through a browser (or else doing a GET request over the service path)
and what do you guys think about this improvement?
Thanks,
Ruwan

I think what we do right now is the same that a vanilla Axis2 would do..
I am not sure if axis2 supports a ?info though, can we check on
axis2-dev/user too?
thanks
