Deepal,Asking an enterprise user to deploy multiple webapps may not be a feasible option. You are thinking of Axis2 running on a developer's machine. The real power of Axis2 comes when it is combined with centrally managed governance. We also have to think about supporting much more complicated deployment environments. People are looking at deploying software on the cloud, in a multi-tenant fashion nowadays. Asking them to create separate webapps simply does not scale.
