I take your points Sanjiva, and we did use to have samples that used publicly available services. Unfortunately, there aren't lots of easy to use services that demonstrate different aspects which is I think why we moved to Axis2 as the service host.
I think there is a balance to be had. On the one hand having samples that show locally hosted services may confuse people. On the other hand, expecting people to go and install another piece of software before they can even try out Synapse seems like hard work. I'm sure its putting people off. I think we need to make it as easy as possible to install and try out Synapse. Paul On 11/13/06, Sanjiva Weerawarana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I think that's the right way to do it .. Synapse is a mediation engine and not a service host. The fact that its on Axis2 and hence can host services should not be exploited to make it easier to run the samples. If the samples require a local service then you need a local service runtime to run the service. Ideally the samples should go against remote services so that the users don't have to do an work to get the samples running other than downloading Synapse. > I would be happy to > patch the docs to reflect that if it would be helpful.
