Interesting question. Folks have asked before about the possibility of running the Axis client from an applet. Apparently it also tries to read from the local file system. Seems like it should be able to continue if it discovers it cannot access the local file system.

I would like to deploy axis in a special-purpose servlet container that runs out of its jar instead of using the local file system. This mostly works, but a class called DefaultAxisServerFactory insists on trying to create a local directory. I commented out that code, but I'm unsure of the consequences. Can anyone faimiliar with that code give me some pointers? It looks like ManagedMemoryDataSource is the only class that cares, but as I'm just learning the code base, it's a little hard to tell. I'm willing to make any code changes myself, but I'd really appreciate any feedback along the lines of "No, what you want is impossible, Axis absolutely requires local filesystem access", or "Oh yeah, there's just a couple of places Axis wants filesystem access, what you want to do is dead easy".
