Hi, I'm new to Axis, but am eager to get eye-deep in it. ;)
I'm building some SOAP interfaces to a larger web-based application, which already has a large Servlet/JSP component (based upon Struts). I'd like for my SOAP services (in Axis) to be able to interact with the Servlet context in various ways, particularly in getting/setting servlet context-scope variables. These are things like connection pools, cached data, and other stuff I store "application-wide". I realize that Axis *is* a Servlet. However, in reading the user's manual, I could not find any reference to how an Axis server class can acquire the handle to it's Servlet context. Is this possible? Did I miss the API somewhere? Since your Axis server classes don't extend any base classes (they only implement interfaces), it seems like an intentional wall has been built between Axis server components and the containing Servlet context. But perhaps I'm wrong. Guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bryan
