Difficulty with j2ee tutorial helloservice RPC sample

[Oliver Chua]

I'm following the tutorial at j2eetutorial14\doc\JAXRPC3.html
After following the instructions under "Packaging and Deploying the Service"
I ended up with a war with the following contents.

build\mapping.xml
WEB-INF\sun-j2ee-ri.project
WEB-INF\sun-web.xml
WEB-INF\web.xml
WEB-INF\webservices.xml
WEB-INF\wsdl\MyHelloService.wsdl
WEB-INF\classes\helloservice\HelloImpl.class
WEB-INF\classes\helloservice\HelloIF.class
META-INF\MANIFEST.MF

I deployed the WAR by copying it to \tomcat50-jwsdp\webapps
I tried accessing
http://localhost:8080/hello-jaxrpc/hello
like the instructions said
but there was an error:
The requested resource (/hello-jaxrpc) is not available.

When I try
http://localhost:8080/MyHelloService/
it shows a navigable directory page containing the build directory

When I try
http://localhost:8080/MyHelloService/hello
there is an error.
The requested resource (Servlet HelloImpl is not available) is not available.

Anyone on the same boat?
Are the files in the WAR file correct or sufficient?
HelloImpl is not actually a Servlet so I wonder...

Hi Oliver,

When I try
http://localhost:8080/MyHelloService/
it shows a navigable directory page containing the build directory

I think there is no available for that context root (MyHelloService).
So whatever you request using that context root, the application server will show error message.

Because of this is example of using JAX-RPC, you should build client class that using that to access class inside server side. And I think that client class is supplied with that tutorial.

Correct me if I am wrong...

Hi Fisher,

I got it to work by following earlier javatutorial...
by using wsdeploy, converting portable.war to the final war
it creates the correct web.xml that has a servlet entry with class
com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCServlet
So when I access /hello, it works...

On the 1.4 tutorial, it says

You can package and deploy the service using either deploytool or asant.

I tried using deploytool but the war cannot be deployed to another server. It cannot also be deployed to the j2ee1.4 server.
There was a problem in the username/password I think...
