AxisServlet and the init() method

[Wayne Ross]

Hi,   I'd like to extend the AxisServlet class and if/when init() fails I would like the servlet to throw javax.servlet.UnavailableException. However, AxisServlet (and AxisServletBase) define their init() method as   public void init()   and not   public void init() throws ServletException   as per the Java Servlet API javax.servlet.GenericServlet class.   And yet the AxisServlet init() method is still called...   Should AxisServlet (and incidently AxisServletBase) override the init() method as specified by javax.servlet.GenericServlet or have I missed something here? I've searched Apache Bugzilla for Axis-related bugs and have not found a match.   Regards,   Wayne Ross This email is for the intended recipient only and is confidential.
