Description

What for?

One might want to apply specific settings on the external endpoints used by a process. For instance: http timeout, http redirections, or other security settings. ODE Services are not concerned at all.
This page is the place holder for material about this project.

How to?
It seems relevant to reuse Axis2 configuration mechanism for SOAP-bound services. No need to reinvent the wheel. However a home-made mechanism will be implemented for HTTP-bound services.

An Axis2 Service Config file[1] might be dropped in the deployment unit directory for each external service involved in the process.
The file name pattern will be "

{local-service-name}

.axis2".
File changes (creation,deletion,updates) will be polled regularly and applied to the EPR.
