No. because the server.wsdd requires the allowed methods to be declared
within a parameter element and I could not find a way to make them visible
to the ant scripts since it can only be known through the wsdl/wsdl2ws. I
tried to use the generated deploy.wsdd as a property file to obtain the
allowed method information but was unable because there are several elements
with the same name "parameter", but I think there might be a way to do it.
and so for the service framework we need to keep a static server.wsdd file
at least for the moment, which needs to be update whenever new service is
added.

can this list specify a set of xmls in a separate location other than the
original location in cvs? My idea in backing these up were to allow a tester
to have his own endpoints rather than the default ones.
