Hi Christopher, You are correct, all the Axis deployed webapps share the web.xml information that Axis uses.
Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: christopher justin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 January 2004 22:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: JDBC datasource from Web Service Thanks alot Richard... you cleared up my confusion. Regarding the application specific WEB-INF/web.xml, what I mean by that is that I was assuming each deployed Web Service could have its own web.xml file... but this appears not to be the case... This is probably true because Axis itself is seen as a webapp and the web services that Axis manages are not seen as separate web apps to Tomcat. In other words, all Web Services in Axis use Axis's web.xml (webapps/axis/WEB-INF/web.xml) not their own (i.e. webapps/axis/classes/myService/WEB-INF/web.xml) .
