Description

Refer the following discussion[1] to find objectives of this idea.

ServiceBuilderExtension can take following API.

public interface ServiceBuilderExtension

{ public void init( ConfigurationContext configurationContext); public Map<String,AxisService> buildAxisServices(DeploymentFileData deploymentFileData) throws DeploymentException;; }

and possible to register them with deployers as follows.

<deployer extension="" directory="" class="">

<serviceBuilderExtension name ="jwsbuilderExt" class="org.apache.axis2.jaxws.framework.JAXWSServiceBuilderExtension">

</deployer>

• One deployer can have number of ServiceBuilderExtensions and will invoke them in the order they defined in the axis2.xml file.

• For a given deploymentFile, if all ServiceBuilderExtensions fail to create AxisService then base deployer will take care about the deployment of that particular deploymentFile.

• For a given deploymentFile, if a ServiceBuilderExtension could create a AxisService then stop execution of other ServiceBuilderExtensions registered and return the AxisService immediately to the base deployer for the further processing.

• Axis2 AbstractDeployer implement necessary helping methods for this idea so that extended Deployer from AbstractDeployer can easily utilise ServiceBuilderExtension concept.

• Immediate goal is to support JAX-WS artefacts through ServiceDeployer .
