[wsas-java-dev] Axis1 Deployer for Axis2

Hi folks!

As part of my work the last month or two, I've built a custom deployer 
which allows you to use Axis1 "inside" of Axis2.  You install the 
deployer and then it notices WSDD files inside your Axis2 respository - 
it spins up an Axis1 AxisEngine configured with the WSDD, and then steps 
through each service in that engine, and deploys for it a "proxy" Axis2 
service with a custom MessageReceiver that dispatches to Axis1.

The theory here is that this should allow current Axis1 users to 
continue using their (potentially RPC-style) services for a while, but 
still get the benefits of the Axis2 flow/Module architecture.

The current version is a first cut - it doesn't handle faults well yet, 
for example, and it needs some improving.  But I'd like to get it 
plugged into the source repository so people can play with it.

So here's my question for you.  Where should I check this in?  In WSO2 
commons?  WSAS?  Suggestions and/or comments appreciated.

Thanks,
--Glen
