I was referring only to the static data that's in AxisService/AxisConfiguration etc. - that stuff can just fall off right? Even today, if you call undeploy I don't see how that can tell a service to remove things like DB connections. Those need to be tied to runtime state and somehow associated to messages. hard to detect when to finish the current message processing, because > request follows different invocation depending on the MEP.

Well if we load new version of a service its just another AxisService and all the classes loaded by a different class loader. The only issue where there's overlap is when that object is given a name and stuffed into hashmap in AxisConfig (via ServiceGroup but let's ignore that complication for now). I agree its hard/impossible to know when the messages in the system are "done". I think what's done in Synapse is they "wait for a while" .. and after that kill off whatever you can and say done. Anyway, I like the idea and its worth looking into. I'm sure there will be lots of little gotchas that come up :).
