David Ward [http://community.jboss.org/people/dward] replied to the discussion "Perhaps SOAPProxy deployment conditions could be relaxed" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/549753#549753 -------------------------------------------------------------- The idea of lazy-initialization of SOAPProxy has been discussed ad-nauseum in the forum thread: http://community.jboss.org/message/349803#349803 SOAPProxy initialization and deployment ordering.  I know it's a long thread, but it's worth reading I believe. The biggest problem I believe is when I said, "If we went with a lazy approach, then we would have a deployed service for which we would +not+ be able to expose WSDL for!  We need to pull in the WSDL on initialization so we can transform it and provide it to consumers of the ESB.  If we went the lazy way, we would get +more+ bug reports from people saying 'WSDL contract unavailable!'". -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/549753#549753] Start a new discussion in JBoss ESB Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
