Re: SimpleAxisServer

[easter]

No-one seems to want to talk about it, I had to work it all out from 4 
billion newsgroup postings saying you can, you can't you shouldnt, you 
musn't etc.

In the code below, I just added a main method to my conventional ws, so 
I can still use it inside an Axis container, but when needed I can
run it in stand-alone mode.
Note, for some reason known best to the Axis gods, the init(context) 
method will always have a null context, so you'll need some other solution
for start-up config if your were relying on this Context object from Axis...

Here's a direct copy paste of how I do it.
Note I don't use a deployment descriptor file, I just use it as an ugly 
string embedded in the code - maybe you'd prefer to
use your existing file:

   public static final void main(String args[]) {
   try {
       org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure();
       String deploymentStr = "<deployment

Hi,

Could somebody please tell me how to access services using a 
standalone java application that uses the SimpleAxisServer?
I can create the SimpleAxisServer just fine by doing the following

SimpleAxisServer axisServer = new SimpleAxisServer();

try{
    axisServer.setServerSocket(new ServerSocket(50020));
    axisServer.start();
 }
catch(IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
 
My problem is how do I let the server instance know where the services 
are to be found and what services are available etc.
