RE: DeployedServices.xml

Title: DeployedServices.xml

More setup details:

1) WEB-INF/web.xml specifies the RPC router servlet and a fully qualified path a file named 'soap.xml' in the same directory.

2) WEB-INF/soap.xml specifies org.apache.soap.server.XMLConfigManager and a fully qualified path to a file named 'DeployedServices.xml'.

3) WEB-INF/DeployedServices.xml specifies the endpoint(s).

 

When the mgr processes a corrupted #3 [well-formed, but invalid with missing tags], it doesn't report ANYthing.  No IllegalArgumentExceptions, NullPointerExceptions, etc.  I know that it has reached this point, because when #2 is missing, the server reports a 'fresh start'.

 

Any ideas before I write my own XMLConfigManager?

 

Thanks again.

PROBLEM:
I would like to avoid deploying the admin tool in a production environment; hence I am interested in handwriting my 'own' soap.xml and DeployedServices.xml.  However, I have noticed that unless even when the latter file is well-formed & valid, DeployedServices.xml corresponding to the org.apache.soap.server.XMLConfigManager does not get processed correctly.  For example, the "id" of a service is left unspecified and I do not observe the exception that is supposed to be thrown [yes, I did look at the source].  Similarly, I can leave the "class" implementing the service unspecified and observe no errors.

What gives?

Thanks,
Bishr

P.S.  My configuration is
tomcat 3.2
apache-soap 2.2
jdk 1.3.1
win2k sp1
