Bill,
In the web.xml for one of the axis sample apps, I have
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
So every request with "/services/*" would be passed to the AxisServlet,
right?
Now how would the AxisServlet find the service / class that needs to be
invoked?
Thanks
Vikas

Subject: Re: basic question about axis
I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. Tomcat routes incoming
requests based on the path and extension type, as specified in web.xml.
For example, any requests for jws files are routed to Axis:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jws</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
You can look at the web.xml in the sample app released with axis.
