I am thinking (1). Some apps would require the web services to be functional from an end user point of view, but other apps may have multiple methods of access, web services being one of them and may be able to operate with partial functionality, but even in this case, it would most likely be impacting some end users and we should probably refuse to deploy the app.

David Jencks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 19-Apr-2005 05:17 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject question about appropriate behavior when no web services are installed Due to our modular architecture, we should be able to set up geronimo so that it will deploy web apps or ejb modules but not web services. Assuming we have such a geronimo configuration, what should happen when someone tries to deploy a module that does include web services, as indicated by a webservices.xml deployment descriptor? (1) refuse to deploy the app (2) deploy the non-webservice parts of the app What should happen when such a module tries to use web services via a service-ref? (1) refuse to deploy the app (2) deploy the app, but not bind anything for the service ref into jndi. thanks david jencks
