Morten,
I assume you're building your WAR file using Ant. If so, then you can use
the same trick I do. As part of my Ant tasks, I "deploy" my web services by
constructing the server-config.wsdd file at compile-time. This approach is
not only automatic, but also doesn't require Axis to be running when I
"deploy". This trick requires some filterchain tasks in Ant, but they are
easy to master.
Below I show you the Ant fragment I use. Essentially, I start with a file
called server-config.wsdd.template. Then, I copy it over to
server-config.wsdd.
<copy file="${basedir}/${resource.dir}/server-config.wsdd.template"
tofile="${basedir}/${resource.dir}/server-config.wsdd"/>
Then, for each service I want to deploy, I append to server-config.wsdd.
<copy file="${wsdl.build.dir}/com/abc/ws/stubs/deploy.wsdd"
tofile="${wsdl.build.dir}/com/abc/ws/stubs/${wsdlName}.wsdd.part">
<filterchain>
<headfilter lines="-1" skip="11"/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
<copy file="${basedir}/${resource.dir}/server-config.wsdd"
tofile="${basedir}/${wsdl.build.dir}/server-config.wsdd.new">
<filterchain>
<tailfilter lines="-1" skip="1"/>
<concatfilter
append="${wsdl.build.dir}/com/abc/ws/stubs/${wsdlName}.wsdd.part"/>
</filterchain>
</copy>
<delete file="${wsdl.build.dir}/com/abc/ws/stubs/${wsdlName}.wsdd.part"/>
<move file="${basedir}/${wsdl.build.dir}/server-config.wsdd.new"
tofile="${basedir}/${resource.dir}/server-config.wsdd"/>
That's it - I auto-"deploy" my services. You'll have to play with the
fragment above to get it to work for you, but it's the basic idea.
Good luck!
