> I wanted to create an application that has tight integration between Axis2 
> webservices and Spring. There is already a solution presented at the Axis2 
> website, http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_5_1/spring.html, but I found that 
> solution very cumbersome in my opinion and doesn't support the JSR 181 
> annotations.
> With my proposed approach it is possible to fully integrate the Axis2 
> run-time with a spring container, whether it is stand-alone or in a web 
> server such as Tomcat. This solution also supports both the JSR 181 annotated 
> classes and the regular AAR-files.
> To fully integrate Axis2 with Spring I have overridden the SimpleAxis2Server 
> class used by the standard stand-alone run-time. A full listing of this class 
> is included in my example application.
> The important stuff is in line 21 up to 36. First it determines the absolute 
> path of the repository and config location parameters. Then it passes those 
> to the AxisRunner constructor (lines 10 to 13) and starts the server. After 
> it successfully starts the Axis2 server it returns the bean to the Spring 
> Container.
> After the creation of the bean it will invoke setDeployedWebservices (lines 
> 46 to 51) which will cycle through the passed webservice classes and deploy 
> them at the created run-time. That's it! No additional configuration or 
> packaging is needed. If the Spring container starts up, so does the Axis2 
> run-time and the webservices get deployed.
> The needed configuration in order to integrate Axis2 is quite simple. Below 
> is a complete listing of my applicationContext.xml (Spring 2.5.6):
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <beans xmlns="namespace stuff">
>   
>   <bean name="axisServer" class="com.example.poc.server.AxisRunner" 
> factory-method="create" scope="singleton">
>       <constructor-arg value="repository" />
>       <constructor-arg value="config/axis2.xml" />
>       <property name="deployedWebservices">
>               <props>
>                       <prop key="WeatherSpringService">
> com.example.poc.webservice.WeatherSpringService
> </prop>
>               </props>
>       </property>
>   </bean>
> </beans>
> With a little bit more effort I think it's also possible to integrate this 
> solution with the Spring component scan, making it possible to annotate the 
> webservice classes and the run-time with @component. I have tested my 
> war-project with Tomcat 6 and Sun Webserver 7.
