Interaction with main server application

Question

Hey
I am developing a serverside with rpc (soap), which means .jws files running on Tomcat with Axis support.
My quistion is: how do the jws files (methods) communicate with a main server application. I need a server application to run at all time to get data from an external device. The call to the .jws files makes a call to the server application to retrieve for example the average measured data from the external device.
Thx

Hi,
I am interested in this information too. What I found is this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%2Btomcat+%2Bjax-rpc&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=23e544cf.0209112145.21f4d4a%40posting.google.com&rnum=6
Here's most of it:
For servlet based web services, JAX-RPC defines the following
interface:
package javax.xml.rpc.server;
public interface ServletEndpointContext {
public java.security.Principal getUserPrinicipal();
public javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext getMessageContext();
public javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getHttpSession();
public javax.servlet.ServletContext getServletContext();
If a servlet based endpoint wants to get access to
ServletEndpointContext object, it should implement
javax.sml.rpc.server.ServiceLifecycle interface. The servlet contianer
will then invoke "void init(Object context)" method, passing the
context object to the user code.
I still don't know how you hook the JaxRPC implementation (which implement Remote interface) with this. If you found out, please list the whole things step by step (versus just mention above). Thanks.
I'll do the same when I found out about it.
