jpetstore - how does the web.xml file find the wsdd file

[ksh29]

Hi,

I am new to Spring and I am trying to understand the spring axis by studying the sample provided by Spring called jpetstore.

Part of web.xml file has been defines as belows,

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>axis</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet</servlet-class>
		<load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>axis</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/axis/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

And under the same directory there is a file called, server-config.wsdd for all the configurations of axis.

One thing I can't get head around is how does the web.xml file find the mapping between /axis/* request to the wsdd file?

Cheers,

Kai
