I have a couple of API Services that I would like to combine with a main 'framework' of sorts that would load the services as needed. The services themselves however, should be as decoupled from each other as possible (to be able to independently develop them ala microservice architecture).

Basically, I would like to:

- Start up a WebAppContext for my Framework 'loader'

- Deploy the various services using .war files of all the services

- Have the services' own web.xml configuration descriptors be in effect so that I can set per-service configurations

Is this possible? If so, how can it be done? If not, what would be the best way to accomplish something similar? Thanks for any responses.

Best,

Filip
