// deploing all needed services (classname, servicename)
myServer.deployRpcSoapService("org.jSoapServer.SoapService","test");
   
// configuring the server properties via config file
String confFile = "conf" + File.separator + "jSoapServer.xml"; 
if(myServer.initService(confFile)) 
{
      // starting jSoapServer
      myServer.startServer();
}
