Is there a good reference to the possible dispatching models available in Axis2, or is reading the source the way to find out? The api javadoc is too sparse to learn much.
This is what I'm trying to achieve: There is a single web service implementation class which implements a dynamic set of web services. Each of these services exposes a wsdl, and each is allowed to have a different endpoint (all within the URL-space handled by the Axis servlet). For example, http://localhost:some-port/MasterService/service-1 and http://localhost:some-port/MasterService/service-2 would be dispatched to the class implementing MasterService, which would use the "service-n" part of the URL and perhaps other content of the request like SOAP-Action or element-name of the soap body child to look up in its configuration information how to process further. An example might be a generic XSLT service that processes one or more input documents with a transform determined by the service-n part of the URL (perhaps plus other info like SOAP-Action), and returns one or more documents in the result. Each service-n would have a different wsdl or would be a different operation in one wsdl. Another example might be a BPEL engine which exposes composite web services with their own wsdls, but interprets a BPEL descriptor in order to execute one of them on the inputs provided. In Axis1, I would provide a message-style service that accessed the request, message context and servlet context to determine how to process the request. What is the analog, if any, in Axis2? The following related question applies to both axis1 and axis2. For the dynamic set of services described above, there would be only one service Axis knows about, the MasterService described in the deployment descriptor. However, the dynamic set of services should be able to provide their wsdls via requests for urls like http://localhost:some-port/MasterService/service-n?wsdl. Is there a way to plug into the wsdl-location machinery in Axis1 and/or Axis2 to be able to find these wsdls somewhere in the classpath using the service-n name or to provide a class that could generate them on the fly from the configuration information? Thanks much for any assistance. Jeff
