It sounds like that stuff needs a LOT of cleaning up before it goes into the
trunk...
Do you say that only from my message below or did you test and review the
component ?
I don't think this makes sense to put into its own component and should (like the older Axis stuff) go into the service and
webtools components.
I think having Axis2 as a webap embedded in OFBiz is giving OFBiz OOTB more
possibilities regarding SOAP Web services.
We could let it apart as it's now in a page attachement in wiki. But I'm sure it will need to be updated from time to time and
having it in OFBiz will trigger this needs avoiding to forget it. Also I'm sure that having it embedded will allow more
contributions than if it's obscured somewhere in wiki.
If that's beyond what you want to invest in this, don't worry about it... sooner or later it will be important enough to someone
to sit down and do it... and if not then it's a clear sign that no one cares enough! :(
We had enough recurring demands these last year to not negligt these possiblities. If it's ok to do like I proposed below, it's
reday to be commited. Else yes, I will need to work this slowly. But I don't think we need to make it more inbricated with OFBiz.
Alfredo's and Paul's recent experience are positive with Axis as a simple component. THis allow also to have the Axis2 Administrator
console which adds some nice feature. Axis2 component could be simply accessed from Webtolls

In my effort to commit the new Axis2 component in framework I wonder about
licences issues.
I have added the necessary in NOTICE, it was easy, no problems
Currently in the component, at framework/axis2/webapp/axis2/WEB-INF/ lib/ precisely, there are a number of libraries which come
with
their licence files. There are near hundred files (97 exactly), 40 being
licence files.
I was ready to put the content of these licence files in the LICENCE file and to put also the libraries with them as it's done
for
the others.
But then I wondered if it's a worthwhile (very tedious) task.
For 2 reasons :
1) The information is already there, and we could just said that in the
LICENCE file
2) If we do so future updates will be far easier (nothing to check but maybe
updating the wiki page related to libraries)
What do you think ? Do we really need to put these informations in LICENCE
file or a simple mention in it would be sufficient ?
Something like <<Some extra libraries come with Axis2, their licence files can
be found into
framework/axis2/webapp/axis2/WEB-INF/lib/>> added after
<<Other licenses used by libraries distributed with Apache OFBiz are listed
below. This file includes a list of all libraries distributed with Apache
OFBiz and the full text of the license used for each.>>
Thanks

Yes, this sounds like the better place. Webtools with a link seems more
accessible. I will do

+1 on David's comment.
Somehow I missed to think like this.

Sorry I missed the earlier message...
Shouldn't this be in the framework and refactored to be part of the service or
perhaps webtools components? I ask because I
think this is more of a core/technical type of functionality.
