[wsas-java-dev] Axis1 Deployer for Axis2

[Sanjiva Weerawarana]

I'd like to put it into WSAS .. and even have a bit of UI to help users 
deploy an Axis1 service easily. Azeez, what do you think? This'll be a 
very good feature for users .. good enticement for WSAS.

A good usecase: deploy Axis1 service and use Axis2's security + RM in 
front of it. This is a bit ESB-like because the scenario can be dealt with 
ESB+Axis1 too but IMO that's ok as its a single JVM solution. ESB folks 
what do you think?

Glen, can we try to get the fault stuff sorted before we ship WSAS 2.0?
