Hi Doug
 I apologize to you if I am asking an obbvious question. I am having a bit of a 
confusion here since I am new to axis and have been learning and experimenting with it 
for the past few days. 

        As I understand, axis when living as a webapp say under tomcat(I followed the 
instalation instructions in the docs), has a single server-config.wsdd file which will 
have all the deployed services listed in it. So, when different users use the admin 
client against axis to deploy their web services, all the web services get listed in 
that server-config.wsdd file. 

        Now, as in the discussion in the email below, if the server-config.wsdd is 
included in the war file then it means that if multiple web services are deployed in 
the form of war files, there will be multiple server-config.wsdd files eventually 
right? This is the part I am having trouble understanding. Why not have one 
server-config.wsdd per app server listing all the web services that have been deployed 
in it?....the trouble I am having a problem understanding this is because I am viewing 
the server-config.wsdd file on the lines of a server.xml file in tomcat that knows 
about all the web application contexts intalled; security aspects etc.

Note: I am looking at things in the light of a complex organization where different 
groups would be having a shared tomcat server and would be deploying different web 
service war files. 

Thanks
Srinivas

Mike,
Just add them to the server-config.wsdd file in the WEB-INF dir and they're 
predeployed. -Dug

Subject:    Building a WAR with web services already deployed



I would like to build a WAR (Web Application aRchive) that contains Axis with some of 
my own web services already "deployed".  That is, I want to be able to distribute this 
WAR to people and tell them to simply install it in their servlet container --- with 
no need to use the Axis AdminClient after that.  What would it take to build such a 
WAR?  (I didn't find this in a quick look around the Axis documentation.)

Thanks,
Mike
