In RPCRouterServlet.doPost() the provider is loaded as shown below: <snip> Provider provider; if ( dd.getProviderType() == DeploymentDescriptor.PROVIDER_JAVA ) { // Handle Java based services provider = new org.apache.soap.providers.RPCJavaProvider(); } else if (dd.getProviderType() == DeploymentDescriptor.PROVIDER_USER_DEFINED) { // Handle user-defined providers provider = ServerUtils.loadProvider(dd); } else { // Handle scripts provider = new org.apache.soap.providers.RPCJavaProvider(); } </snip>
I am interested in using a custom Service class to load the provider, as advertised in DeploymentDescriptor.setServiceClass(). However, the above code seems to ignore using a custom service class to load the provider when it is a DeploymentDescriptor.PROVIDER_USER_DEFINED type. My plans are to modify the provider = ServerUtils.loadProvider(dd); into provider = loadProvider(dd); where loadProvider uses the custom service class to load the provider. My problem is that ServerUtils.loadProvider creates a new instance every call and I would like to cache my provider. Any ideas or comments are greatly appreciated.
