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.

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
