axis2

[Rohit Sajan]

Can anyone give a simple step by step procedure to deploy and and run a small webservice using axis 2 in either tomcat or weblogic.

I have downloaded the Axis2 Standard Binary Distribution, but the war created out of it didn't get deployed the way it is mention here: http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_1/installationguide.html

What does this mean? What did you do, and what did or did not happen? TellTheDetails

When I installed Axis, I simply copied the exploded webapp that came with the distribution to the Tomcat webapps directory, so I don't think there's a need to build the war file at all.

Hi people,

why trouble with combining to install lots of various vendors (tomcat + axis) to make one thing working properly(like web services), because you can have only Sun Application Server?

One way to deploy Your WAR with Axis 2 Web Services on Tomcat is to follow these steps:
1) Download Axis 2 WAR
2) Create, compile and pack your service into aar file. To do this, You can use QuickStart Guide
3) Copy Your aar file to /WEB-INF/services/ directory in Axis2.war
4) Change the following line in Axis2 configuration file (axis2.war/WEB-INF/conf/axis2.xml) from

 <parameter name="enableRESTInAxis2MainServlet" locked="true">[B]false[/B]</parameter>    

to

   <parameter name="enableRESTInAxis2MainServlet" locked="true">[B]true[/B]</parameter>

. We enable REST for point 6)
5) Copy Axis2.war to Tomcat's webapps directory and start Tomcat
6) Check http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/listServices to see if Your service is deployed correctly
