Hi, Yes that is fine. A service will also work and I actually like this more than the servlet. The issue I was thinking about in that case is whether it would be possible to obtain the deployengine instance created by the AxisServlet (not directly). Normally a servlet would obtain that through the Servlet context. But i am sure there would be a way to do this easily with a web service as well. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Angel, First of all, welcome to the dev community and I look forward to seeing more contributons from you! I'm +1 in having a remote deployment capability. However, I can't see why we don't write a simple Web service with deploy()/undeploy() etc. methods, use MTOM/XOP for sending the aar files and use the REST/POX stuff to get a clean HTTP binding for it. That way we don't need to write another servlet or anthing- you just write a service and the user deploys it if they want remote deployment. Of course if the user is smart they'd secure that service a little bit. The other advantage is that this'll work on all transports .. one could envision sending an email to the service to deploy stuff. On an IM over XMPP. Sanjiva.
