In my very brief stint with Axis, I did come across "deploy.wsdd" files. But I am assuming that this file is read only when you deploy the service through "AdminClient" which is a totally Axis-specific activity. In a servlet-engine environment, servlets are "deployed" through web.xml. Is it somehow possible to reconcile/merge these two different activities? For instance, one method that quickly comes to my mind is to run this "AdminClient" inside a servlet's "init" method. Is that possible? I might understand more if someone would kindly post an example servlet that makes use of Axis. Here I am visualizing something like getting access to a "MessageContext" inside of a doGet() or a doPost() method etc. I am afraid I might not be making too much sense here. But if it does make any sense, please help. Thanks. sincerely, Ramesh

Recently we were told that we would be provided a set of Apache Axis handlers that "must be confnigured in front of your Web service". Is it possible to achieve this without making changes to our server-side code? The documentation says that Axis also provides a server which "plugs into servlet engines", but I haven't found any examples to help me understand how this is to be achieved. Please respond with a solution or references to documentation that might help more. Thank you. sincerely, Ramesh Mantri
