Hi Matthieu, it is possible that at deployment time, all the services have not been deployed yet to the server. So when deploying, it would raise an error, and that would induce an order in the deployment of the projects.
In the case that two projects call each other, it becomes impossible to deploy them. (each one targets the other port type of the other, each one defining the binding to its own port). Instead, would it be possible to pause the process, and alarm the user that a service/port/operation is missing, so that he has a change to deploy it ? It would be great to validate the deploy.xml too, and issue some information like "This process will need this port type: " + portTypeName. What do you think ?

I agree with the intent but it has non trivial implications. In the current code base only the ILs now what a service really is, endpoints are completely opaque to the server, which is good. And sometimes even the IL doesn't know everything about an endpoint, only whatever we're hooked to knows (think Axis2 or the JBI bus). I guess we could have some sort of "best effort" tool that tries to guess which IL you want to use, tries to understand the format of your endpoints and all that stuff. But if we write it with only SOAP/HTTP in mind and somebody configures Axis2 to use JMS, the tool will fail even if your endpoint is fine.
