No, its not required and its uses spring behind the scene, so if you are using spring config in your app then there is no use to use service.xml. Service.xml is useful when you want to create simple configuration file, e.g. in my application we don't use spring in other places then XFire, so instead to creating spring config/load it etc, i just have simple file with few lines <sevice>... Its much simpler.
btw, you can also mix service.xml format with spring format. On 3/13/07, Andres Bernasconi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've been using XFire for a while now and I'm not sure in which cases I need the services.xml file (or if it can always be used). I've actually never used that file and have been managing exposing the services using standard Spring Beans and setting properties with injection only. So my question is when that file is required, if I can use it when dealing with standard Spring and what benefits it brings. Best Regards, Andrés Bernasconi.
