In your services.xml file, add 'scope=" application"' to the "service" element, as follows:
<service name="***your service name***" scope=" application"> The service will then be deployable in application mode. Now a question to Deepal... will this actually load the implementation class immediately on deployment and thus cause all static initialization in the class to take place? I know that application mode will cause Axis2 to treat the implementation class as a singleton and reuse the same instance for each service call, but I was still under the impression that it would require that first service call to be made still. If the class is loaded on deployment or the singleton is constructed prior to the first service call, then that is definitely good news. -----Original Message----- From: Oded Onn [mailto:oded....@mobixell.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 3:21 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: RE: Initializing Web Service (Server) before first request received Deepal, Can you please elaborate a bit more.
