Fixed.  Much cleaner and correct now.

> I question the usage of the the File class's method setLastModified() in 
> WSInfoList.java:
>     private void setLastModifiedDate(File file, WSInfo wsInfo) {
>         if (file.isDirectory()) {
>             File files [] = file.listFiles();
>             for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
>                 File fileItem = files[i];
>                 if (fileItem.isDirectory()) {
>                     setLastModifiedDate(fileItem, wsInfo);
>                 } else {
>                     fileItem.setLastModified(wsInfo.getLastModifiedDate());
>                 }
>             }
>         } else {
>             file.setLastModified(wsInfo.getLastModifiedDate());
>         }
>     }
> I do not understand why we are actually modifying the last-modified-date of 
> the file objects?   
> The main reason is that this causes problems when the user ID that AXIS2 is 
> running under does not have authority to update the files.  So the attempt to 
> modify the files will not result on anything be done (we apparently do not 
> check if operation failed), but more importantly, if system auditing is 
> enabled you will see authority-failure auditing records for each attempt to 
> modify the time-stamp for a file.  And if hot-update is deployed, this will 
> result in 1000's of these records.  
> Possible solution:  Why do we need to test for equality when looking at 
> time-stamps? We can save the newest last-modified time-stamp, and then when 
> we want to detect if something has changed, we simply see if the saved 
> time-stamp is greater or equal to the file time-stamp.  And if this is true, 
> then the file has not changed.  Otherwise, the file has changed.....the added 
> benefit is we do not have to update files. 
> I will be fixing this ASAP and hopefully will be getting this into Axis 1.4.
