I would encourage spending time getting it right (including discussing proposals on the mail list), rather than rushing out a patch, as it is pretty unlikely it is going to get into Axis1.1 this late in the game. First step should be we need to enumerate the different classloader problems we are encoutering, across the various popular app servers people use. > PS: There are a few other areas in AXIS which require exploded deployment. > In my opinion a pretty nasty requirement ;(. Agreed. We need to look at config persistence better. FYI my laptops' Axis source has a 'deploy on startup servlet' that auto-registers an array of .wsdd files, so you dont need config persistence so much; it autoinits itself from the build time configuration every startup
