I think this has something to do with each application being a separate
web application (in a J2EE sense), but I'm just guessing. There seems to
be a reason you would need some services local to (or restricted to) a
web application, but I don't know what the reason is.

As a side note, this change(after the recent refactoring) should be rather easy
to implement; in fact it will be a matter of changing the signature of the
LocalDispatcher dispatcher = ServiceContainer.getLocalDispatcher(String
dispatcherName, Delegator delegator);
into:
LocalDispatcher dispatcher = ServiceContainer.getLocalDispatcher(Delegator
delegator);
and we will no more have to add the dispatcher name to the web.xml file of all
the web applications, for example:
<context-param>
<param-name>localDispatcherName</param-name>
<param-value>webtools</param-value>
<description>A unique name used to identify/recognize the local dispatcher for
the Service Engine</description>
</context-param>
Kind regards,
