I installed Jetspeed2, works fine. I plopped Axis2 into Jetspeed2 as per the instructions. I installed a trivial web service, works fine.
Now I am trying to add persistence to my web service. Is there anything in Jetspeed that would cause a web service to not be able to persist objects? The idea sounds insane to me but I have to ask. I asked more specific "why does this not work" questions on the Axis2 list, of course.
