Thanks for that. It all sounds sensible. I must admit I like the idea of not building the distribution every time. I was just at a loss at first, on how to build it because we don't use maven in our projects. Once I realised that 'mvn' would do the trick I was OK.
The question about what is needed to deploy, was because the target directory has lots of stuff in it, I was expecting it to contain what is deployed and nothing else.

If one needs kit, one can switch to "distribution" and do the kit building.

What do other folks think about this? we basically have three options for installed directory name: CXF, cxf, and celtixfire. If we adopt CXF or cxf directory name, "CeltiXfire" name effectively dies. > 6 - running the hello_world example throws an unmarshalling exception > in the pingMe call which is supposed to return a fault - [Bozhong Lin] fault feature is not completely done yet. > > [java] Exception in thread "main" > java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.cx > f.interceptor.Fault: Marshalling Error > > > Hope this helps. > > > Richard Shaw > > > > This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright > protected.
