Let's keep this to axis-dev@ until we need some questions answered from beehive folks. Forgot to mention, please use annogen (http://annogen.codehaus.org/) to access the annotations which are needed to build the WsmService. We explicitly took a dependency on annogen in Axis2 for this purpose.

Hi Dims, Thanks for the pointers. Let me look at how to get the ReflectionWsmServiceFactory impl going. after that I can start with WSMToAxisServiceBuilder to build an AxisService out of an anotated POJO. Once I have something I will create a JIRA and attach a patch. U can take a look at the code and then we can take it from there. If I have questions I will bug u again :-) Btw, the Beehive mailing list seems to be a bit quiet, so I am wondering how to get WSM specific questions answered :-) Regards, Rajith On 6/13/06, Davanum Srinivas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Rajith, > > I think you need to implement ReflectionWsmServiceFactory first.
