Would it be feasible (and possible) to describe multiple modules within a 
single XML file? Instead of having multiple XML files in a JAR could we allow 
the use of a modules.xml with multipe "module" elements? If this is possible it 
may make things easier on the end user by reducing the number of deployment 
descriptors that need to be produced/maintained.

This may be beyond Axis2 1.3. At the moment, for a given .jar, we could only 
have one module.xml to represent a  module.  Axis2 already ship addressing mar 
module.xml in the axis2-XX.jar. What if we need to have multiple  module.xmls 
in a given jar. Looking at the work I've been engaged with there is a 
possibility of having this scenario. Thus, if a multiple module.xmls needed for 
a given .jar, wouldn't it be reasonable to give it as follows, 

foo 
    +-META-INF
                     +- module-a.xml
                     +- module-b.xml
                      ...

Thus, at deployment time, xmls can be read with the prefix "module" and make 
them available for engagement. If there needed to be only single module 
descriptor, let it be either  module.xml or module-foo.xml.

Thank you
