Axis2 class loader

[Hudson Robert]

Hello all,   I (think) I've got an issue with the classloader in axis2-0.94.... When I try and run sendReceive(request) on a ServiceClient object for the first time (since axis2 running inside tomcat) has been started the operation takes so long that I get a HTTP timeout. When I then run the same command again it works fine. After doing some debugging I came to the conclusion that it was the Axis2 classloader. My web service uses quite a few jaxb jars and it is the loading of these that takes time. When I specify these inside tomcat (commons/lib - not the correct place I know but it works) there is no delay and the client works fine from the start. I've also tested this code outside of Axis2 and it works fine whether the jars are in the webapp lib directory or within tomcat. Does it sounds like I'm right?   Is this issue fixed in later versions of Axis2? Will there be some way to initialise a webservice before a client call is made (like you can with servlets) so that this kind of issue can be dealt with?   Cheers   Rob   The information contained in this E-Mail and any subsequent correspondence is private and is intended solely for the intended recipient(s).  The information in this communication may be confidential and/or legally privileged.  Nothing in this e-mail is intended to conclude a contract on behalf of QinetiQ or make QinetiQ subject to any other legally binding commitments, unless the e-mail contains an express statement to the contrary or incorporates a formal Purchase Order.
