Axis and Catalina as Web-Application

[aschmidt]

Hi everybody,

does anybody has expirence to deploy axis as an War-File on JBOss 3.0 with Catalina.
Since the include Axis Version is not working, I tried this as a Workaround, but I don't get access the class files included in the war-file.

What could be wrong with this???

Thanks for your help!

Alex,

I forgot to add that you can also get a zipped binary of jboss-tomcat integrated with Axis from the page http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~bscharla/soap.html so you don't need to build it yourself.

Cheers

what do you mean with 'I don't get access the class files included in the war-file'

can you provide a stack trace or some other error log?

We are successfully running an axis-based application on
top of jboss-2.4.4/catalina

beware that you need to pack and deploy your war file each time again, when you change your own classes contained in WEB-INF/classes or your jars in WEB-INF/lib.

also you need to deploy your wsdd again, each time you have deployed your war file or rebooted jboss.

Hi,

to explain the sentence: 'I don't get access the class files included in the war-file'

The problem started already with the *.jar files include in the war. e.g. the axis.jar. It was only possible for me to start the axisServlet/AdminService, when I put them in the jboss-lib directory.

Since I got this working I tried to activate one of the stock examples. But I got always the anwser, that the Context is not available.

This doesn't make any sense, the context must be there, cause I can see the index.html for example.

So I came to the point that the service clas files are not available or reachable. But they are included in the war file and I can see the in the deployment directory of JBoss.

Thanks for all your help

Hi,

i didn't put the axis war itself into the deploy dir, but an ear file containing the the axis war:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<display-name>Axis</display-name>


<web-uri>axis.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/axis</context-root>




by the way ...
i am currently working on a jboss-net hack for the jboss-3.0.0-catalina distro. hope i get it running till tomorrow

Hi,

I will try your ear-suggestion now. ..

But I am Curiouse if you got the jboss-net hack running you are working on.
