I may be misunderstanding something, is your flow?

1.  WS Caller --> Axis --> Struts call
2.  WS Caller --> Struts -->  Axis call
3.  Some funky call-back combination?

Sounds like Axis/Struts are on the same box/servlet context as well from
your description below.  A filter can run on any URL mapped request so
depending on your flow you should be able to instantiate what you need
to.

If you have a web service, a well-defined end-point is pretty mandatory
so pulling it from config doesn't seem to break any type of
encapsulation rules.  Any reason why you don't want to have the location
in config as someone else mentioned?

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.
