Ant,
I just removed AxisWebAppLifecycleListener. We were using it at some
point but I think it's not needed anymore. The configuration of Axis is
now triggered from o.a.t.binding.axis.handler.WebServiceEntryPointServlet.
What are your requirements for running inside the Axis simple HTTP
server? Will the current WebServiceEntryPointServlet work for you?

You may want take a look at some of the refactoring around
o.a.t.core.context and in particular the Context hierarchy
(AggregateContext, EntryPoint Context, etc.). The unit tests may be
helpful in seeing how components and entry points can be registered
with the system from a unit test.
Part of this work is a start to how I'd like to refactor entry points
and external services to be contexts that can be integrated with Axis
handlers. For instance, it should be possible to have a request
processed by Axis first and then have the last handler send a message
through an entry point (which may have a series of additional
handlers), or have a very lightweight listener on a transport (e.g.
Servlet) which passes a request to the entry point as a message, that
in turn has a series of handlers which invoke the Axis pipeline.
This will allow a more centralized management of entry points (e.g.
they are just contexts), compact wiring code (I've already done this
with the system binding), as well as the ability to mix-and-match
handlers from different libraries using flexible ordering. Also, in
terms of the use case you mentioned, I don't think you would need to
even have to deal with an HTTP sever at all.

There's a TODO in
o.a.t.binding.axis.config.AxisWebAppLifecycleListenerabout being a
Tomcat LifecycleListener or web app listener:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/contrib/java/trunk/runtime/binding.axis/src/main/java/org/apache/tuscany/binding/axis/config/AxisWebAppLifecycleListener.java
Is anyone looking at this right now?
I ask mainly as I'd like to be able to use Axis's Simple HTTP server
to test
entryPoints with WS bindings, but that doesn't work right now with
AxisWebAppLifecycleListener being a Tomcat LifecycleListener. I know
you can
do Tomcat debugging within eclipse but its hard to go back once
you're used
to the sub-second startup time of the simple axis server.
