Any project of significant size has someone who causes more damage to the codebase through ignorance than they contribute :) I believe the current situation is that the session expiry code isnt working, cos there is no expiry support. But that doesnt mean that init wont get a look in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vidyanand Murunikkara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 13:43 Subject: RE: Initialization Parameters Hi Ben When you said "it works well" did u mean u tried it out and it worked fine ? I was under the impression this feature doesn't exist. I checked the code and it doesn't seem to be in there. And Steve Loughran from the Axis commiter list also said that this feature is not supported. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=103679570405098&w=2.

Your service implements ServiceLifecycle. Axis should call your init() method, passing you a reference to the ServletContext. From that you can get servlet initialization parameters (like filenames) that you specified in web.xml. I'm new, too, so don't take my input as a good way to do things! public class MyService implements ServiceLifecycle { public void init(java.lang.Object context) throws ServiceException { ServletEndpointContext ctx = (ServletEndpointContext)context; ServletContext servletContext = ctx.getServletContext(); //get filename specified in web.xml and open it String filename = servletContext.getInitParameter("filename"); InputStream is = servletContext.getResourceAsStream(filename); } } Eric H.
