[Axis2] - Bug in deployment

[Kedar, Shahar]

Hi,   I think I found a bug in the Axis2 deployment mechanism. Looking at the code of org.apache.axis2.deployment.RepositoryListener, it seems that if there are no files under the services folder then Axis will not check whether existing services were removed.   This is what I think is happening: The method that checks whether certain services were removed is checkForUndeployedServices() under the WSInfoList class. This method will check for changes only if the check boolean is set to TRUE. The check boolean is set to TRUE only by the addWSInfoItem() method under the WSInfoList class. This method will be called by the RepsitoryListener only if the file list of the services directory is not empty. This means, that if I already have some service deployed, and I decide the delete all the content of the services folder, those services will remain deployed until Axis2 is restarted.   Any ideas how to bypass this bug (other than maintaining a dummy file under the services folder)? Should I report this bug to the Axis2 team?   Thanks, Shahar Kedar Software AG Israel
