In Axis2 it has four different type of sessions and transport session is one of them. So, you have access to the serveltContext only if you use the transport session.
You can deploy the service in any scope and create the threads inside the init method and write the code to stop them inside the destroy method. When the session complete, Axis2 automatically calls the destroy method and invoke your code. One thing you need to keep in mind is the number of services instances, in Axis2 for each new session it creates a new service impl class. And also use the following reference: http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3735771/Exposing-a-Database-as-a-Web-Service.htm http://blogs.deepal.org/2009/06/axis2-tutorials-and-articles.html Deepal On 6/7/2011 6:11 PM, April Easton wrote: > > Good day, > > I have almost successfully converted our axis service to an axis2 > service.
