Hi Hozefa:
I wouldn't rely on the MessageContext being set in the constructor for your
object, although it is interesting that we apparently make two service
objects - I'll look into that to see what's up there.
The MessageContext represents information about a PARTICULAR
request/invocation, and thus should be examined only in the context of an
actual service method (doSomething()). Don't cache it, either, btw!
If you have a need to know more about the local Axis configuration around your
service object at construction time, we can see about perhaps giving you a
pointer to the AxisEngine or something, but a MessageContext isn't the
appropriate tool here.
