You could restrict what clients can access the AdminService to maintain security (restrict to internal or certain IPs or whatever).

For security reasons, my colleagues would like to avoid using the AdminService that's included with Axis. A method would be desirable that just reads the server-config.wsdd from disk, edits it as described in the deployment/undeployment descriptor, then writes the new file. Is this possible? How? Kai PS: I found the "-llocal://" method, but that does not appear to read the existing server-config.wsdd. It seems to only write a new server-config.wsdd containing defaults.
