David,

My Struts app contains an Axis-based SOAP service.  The Struts app
initializes the call dispatcher for the SOAP service.  This dispatcher
needs to know the URL of itself.  This is a requirement of the semantics
of the SOAP service (outside of my control).  So a Listener or a Plug In
appear to be the only way to try to determine the URL before the SOAP
service is open for business.

Thanks.
