Hi all, major newbie here, but getting very excited about Axis' capabilitites.
I've been trying to get my Service to access the underlying servlet context in order to make use of some shared resources stored there. I've implemented ServiceLifecycle in my SoapBindingImpl class and provided an implementation for init() in order to get the servlet context with the ServletEndpointContext. Unfortunately init is never called.
It IS called if I tweak around with the Axis generated SoapBindingSkeleton class -- unfortunely tweaking this class so that it implements Lifecycle, then getting it to pass the retrieved context to the SoapBindingImpl made the service work, but trashed the autogeneration of WSDL by Axis.
I've read every thread on this in the mailing list archove for the past three months (and there were several) but nowhere was the diffinitive answer of where and how to implement ServiceLifecycle properly within the Axis-generated framework. If any of you have figured this out, I'd be most appreciative of your help.
Thanks,
