Hi all,
I'm running axis as a war in WebLogic. I'm able to deploy/undeploy, as well as execute my webservices without any problems. However the services that I deploy using the admin client tool are not persisted in the server-config.wsdd file, so whenever I re-start the app server,
I have to re-deploy the services again!
Looking through the code in EngineConfigurationFactoryServlet it seems to me that the property 'axis.ServerConfigFile' isn't of much help either if you are running in a war/ear mode, since servletContext.getRealPath() returns null, and Axis defaults to using the server-config.wsdd in a read-only mode from the war. I guess if I were running in an exploded directory format things would work fine, but I have to package my application in a war file.
Is there any way to persist the services that I deploy in a war mode? I know I can always write my own version of EngineConfigurationFactoryServlet and use it by specifying some system property, but I would hate to do that unless absolutely necessary. Can Axis provide a way (probably by modifying the behavior of the default EngineConfigurationFactoryServlet) so as to persist services when running in a war mode? I can even volunteer to make the required change if need be :-)
I can only imagine that a majority of folks trying to run Axis in a production environment (like us) would do so by packaging it up in a war, and this issue would be a serious one if not addressed.
