RE: Dynamic publishing

[Tuan Le Viet]

Grant,
 
It's obviously your solution is a feasible work-around. However, as you stated, it's 
really a big mess.
 
Now I consider switching to GLUE which supports dynamic publishing from the beginning. 
If you're interested, take a look at http://www.themindelectric.com
 
However, I really do hope that there is a clean solution using Axis. Probably in near 
future.
 
Cheers,
 
Tuan

        Tuan,
        
        I have a similar need but for a totally different reason. We have a services
        framework and want to dynamically publish public 'service entry points' at
        runtime through Axis SOAP. We only have a Java class file and an associated
        interface as parameters so we have to make up the rest of the difference.
        Right now we're spawning Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java back to back so I can get a
        .WSDD file and then call the AdminClient to deploy the deploy.wsdd file. Its
        a mess and I wish there was a better way to do this. At this point we were
        too unsure of the deploy.wsdd file format to generate it ourselves. Perhaps
        even having this documented, or having a class that we could instantiate and
        call instead of actually spawning the wsdl... utilities would be better. But
        for now, its working...:-(
        
        I'm hoping someone has a better way and will respond, but if you're still
        stuck you could possibly consider this route as an interim solution.
        
        Grant
