It would be a bit difficult to feel confident that a jar isn't needed
just because one or more method calls didn't fail when the service was
deployed without the jar being present.
I think the Axis developers need to provide some guidance on when the
various jars are needed.
Thanks,

Easiest way is to add clover into the build
http://www.atlassian.com/software/clover/
to determine which classes or packages have been orphaned
From the front end to look at Call Graph I would use either VTune
http://www.intel.com/support/performancetools/sb/cs-021631.htm
or perhaps Jprofiler
http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/jprofiler/overview.html
Then again you can just rename the libraries e.g. from *.jar to *.jar.old
and add them back in one at a time..

Subject: Re: [Axis2] Axis2 jars and dependencies
*I cleaned up the lists below as they were difficult to read.*
The Axis2 download includes 19 Axis2 jars and 39 third party jars. I'm
trying to understand:
1. Why Axis2 has to be broken up into 19 separate jars. Can any of these
be amalgamated to produce less jars? (I find it confusing that there are
so many and I think most people just put them all on the classpath instead
of thinking about it.)
2. Why Axis2 has so many dependencies. Are some of these dependencies
optional or can they be made optional?
I'd appreciate any help in understanding the requirement, even if just a
pointer to an existing document that I've missed. I did find one wiki page
[1] that started this discussion about a year ago but it's out of date.
[1] http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/axis2_std_build_list
Here are lists of the Axis2 jars and the third party jars.
Axis2
--------
axis2-adb-1.3.jar Used by Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java?
axis2-adb-codegen-1.3.jar Used by Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java?
axis2-clustering-1.3.jar ?
axis2-codegen-1.3.jar WSDL2Java?
axis2-fastinfoset-1.3.jar ?
axis2-java2wsdl-1.3.jar Used by the Axis2 kernel to general WSDL
on the fly - Am I correct that this is also
used for the standalone tool?
axis2-jaxbri-1.3.jar ?
axis2-jaxws-1.3.jar Used by kernel? Anything else make use of
this?
axis2-jaxws-api-1.3.jar Used by kernel? Anything else make use of
this?
axis2-jibx-1.3.jar Optional?
axis2-json-1.3.jar Optional? Do I need this if I don't want JSON
support?
axis2-jws-api-1.3.jar Java Web Services API? Is this used by
multiple
tools/runtimes?
axis2-kernel-1.3.jar Core Axis2
axis2-metadata-1.3.jar ?

jaxb-impl-2.0.5.jar Used by the Axis2 kernel?
jaxb-xjc-2.0.5.jar Used by the Axis2 kernel?
jaxen-1.1.1.jar XPath engine - where is this used?
jettison-1.0-RC1.jar JSON StAX parser
jibx-bind-1.1.5.jar Related to JAXB?
jibx-run-1.1.5.jar Related to JAXB?
juli-6.0.10.jar ?
log4j-1.2.14.jar Logging - Is this optional? I don't
always want to use Log4J - for
example,
when working with Eclipse.
mail-1.4.jar MIME support?
mex-impl-1.3.jar ?
neethi-2.0.2.jar WS Policy - Is this optional?
soapmonitor-1.3.jar Is this part of Axis2 or another
project?
Is this just used by the Axis2
runtime
or is it just the standalone SOAP
monitor
tool?
stax-api-1.0.1.jar XML pull parsing - I think this
should be
replaced in the next version with
Geronimo's
API as Axiom has made the change
tribes-6.0.10.jar ?
woden-1.0-incubating-M7b.jar WSDL 2.0 support
wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar WSDL 1.1 support
wstx-asl-3.2.1.jar XML pull parsing
xalan-2.7.0.jar XSLT - Where is this used?
xbean-2.2.0.jar Looks like a competitor to OSGi -
where is
this used?
xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar DOM parser - Does Axis2 actually
need a DOM
parser? I thought everything was
done with
pull parsing.
xml-apis-1.3.03.jar DOM parser
XmlSchema-1.3.2.jar XML schema support
Thanks,
Lawrence
