Thanks for the response Deepal and Eran. That sounds good, except I just thought of something. I want to include a wsdl with each service, but I don't want to combine unrelated services in a single services.wsdl. There's no way to specify multiple wsdls in meta-inf, is there? You could have a child service element that explicitly states the associated wsdl: <service name=""> <wsdl>service1.wsdl</wsdl> </service>
I have no need for session context sharing, so for now I guess I'll package as separate .aar. I was considering merely for packaging purposes, not functionality. -----Original Message----- From: Deepal Jayasinghe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 12:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Axis2] services.xml hi Tony pls see my comments below; Thanks, Deepal ................................................................ ~Future is Open~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Dean" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 6:25 AM Subject: [Axis2] services.xml Hi, Can anyone answer a few simple questions: 1) I don't think this is possible, but wanted to ask. Can you define more than one service in services.xml? >>>>>>>>> yes , you can have more than one serivce element in services.xml and that we called service group; and the way is as follows <serviceGroup> <service name="foo"></service> <service name="baa"></service> </serviceGroup> >>>>>>>>>>>> 2) I have seen serviceGroups defined, but do not know their exact purpose (somehow relating services together)? Couldn't find any documentation on the subject. >>>>>>>>>>>>> well that is easy way of deploying mutiple services in one aar file , and in the meanwhile at the run time you can manage sessions accros services using serviceGroup contex for that service group >>>>>>>>> 3) Can the service implementation class reside in lib/my.jar or does it have to be in top level class? I assume it can be in a bundled jar in the .aar just like other dependent jars (assuming classloading is working properly), but haven't tried it. I have always deployed with the implementation class unjar'ed. >>>>>>>>> yes you can put ur service impl class itself as a seperate jar inside aar >>>>>>>> Thanks.
