Hi All; The BOF we had at the ApcheConUS 2006 I suggested the idea of supporting custom deployers into Axis2. The main reason with that was in Axis2 we can not easily deploy new file extension (as an example JavaScript ) , and In JAXWS side they are doing all the initialization at the MessageReceiver level since they do not have a deployment plug point. So with this approach we have much more flexibility ,among them
- If you do not like the directory name “services” and “modules” then you can easily changed that to whatever you like - If you do not like the .aar , .mar file extension you can easily change that to whatever you like - If you want make a javaScript into a AxisService (or Module) and you want to deploy that into a new directory inside the repository (let's say folder called “javaScript”) you can easily do that. - If you want to deploy test file as a service, module, Transport or even Parameter you can do that - Among the most useful thing we can easily write a new Deployer to make Axis1 service into Axis2 I spent last night and completed the new approach (I am very sorry for implementing the feature w.o letting know the community), which introduces a new Interface called “Deployer” with fore method. If you want to write a new Deployer then you need to implement that . I changed the current Deployment mechanism to work the new approach. With new approach if you want to add new Deployer, then the following are the steps; - First write a class implementing Deployer interface - Second add the following entry to to axis2.xml <deployer extension="aar" directory="service" class="org.apache.axis2.deployment.ServiceDeployer"/> I think this is one of the very cool features I added to Axis2 and hope no one will -1 on this , I will commmit the changes soon. If everything goes well we can keep the code else we can revert. here is my +1 for this feature as well as for commiting the code.
