WebService Problem

[imran mansuri]

Hi,


I have a webservice which is lying in one package in one application. It is using applications other classes which are lying in other package. Now I have created webservice by using only the package in which the webservice classes are stored.

After I have created the webservice when i call it from client it can not access the application (in which webservice created) classes used in Webservice untill I create a jar file of application's other classes and put it in AXIS folder(As I am using AXIS for Webservice deployment and access). I tried to put the applicatin in classpath of the AXIS but it does not work.

Can Any one help me in fixing this problem as I dont want to keep 2 copies of the application one in AXIS and other in Tomcat/webapps/.

Thank You.

I think this will fit better (and be more likely to get an answer) in our Web Services forum, so I'm moving it there.

You could move the Axis servlet, and the jar files it needs, into your web app, instead of keeping it in a web app all by itself. That way you have only a single web app, and no need to duplicate classes.

hai,
copy axis folder in tomcat/webapps and create jws file in axis and call that jws file from other application by placing related jar files in lib folder

... keeping in mind that .jws-based web services have a number of drawbacks, which make them unsuitable for production-quality purposes.
