I just went though the patch and which has a number of assumptions which introduce so many issues. First as I can see it might break the directory based deployment, the reason is the logic differentiate sub-directory from a service just considering have services.xml. And just look at the following code, if the service is an archive file it assume it does not have a serviceXML which is wrong (I might have also done such mistake, but I am just pointing out).
if (DeploymentFileData.isServiceArchiveFile(file.getName())) { addFileToDeploy(file, deploymentEngine.getServiceDeployer(), - WSInfo.TYPE_SERVICE); + WSInfo.TYPE_SERVICE); + noServicesXML = false; At the runtime this make some very wrong assumptions, that is if the service is not found that it assume it might be hierarchical service and find the service from second part of the URL. I believe this break the REST behavior and normal operation dispatching, for example logic would assume operation name as the hierachical service. (I think he has only test the scenario which supposed to work, not the cases which introduces issues). You will understand what I am talking about if you just go through the patch. * Ex : services/echo/echoString --> values[0] = echo, values[1] = echoString + * values[2] = echo/echoString + */ + String[] values = new String[3]; > Of course this needs unit tests.
