Title: Specifying config information in resources rather than files

Hi,

I suppose this falls into the enhancement request category.  Right now, the config manager class can be specified in a configuration file (default = soap.xml).  In my case, I'm using soap.xml so that I can use the XMLConfigManager to read a DeployedServices.xml deployment descriptor.  Since both the soap.xml and DeployedServices.xml files need to be actual files in the filesystem, I can't incorporate them into a WAR file.  This is inconvenient since I'd really like to deploy this information with my webapp.

One way to address this would be to write a ConfigManager implementation that reads the deployment information out of a resource in the WAR file.  In order to obviate the need for the soap.xml file, the custom ConfigManager class would need to be specified as a servlet init parameter rather than in the soap.xml file.

If I've missed some other way to work around this problem, please let me know.

Thanks.
