    Installing axis on jboss

    hordine

      Hi everyone,

      I'm trying to install axis on JBoss 5 and all I did was download axis-bin-1_4.zip, unzipped it and coppied the axis directory from webapps into JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy

      When I try to start the server from eclipse, I get the following error:

      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base C:\desenvolvimento\jboss-5.0.1.GA\server\default\deploy\axis\WEB-INF\web.xml does not exist or is not a readable directory

      The web.xml does exist at that path. Can anyone please help?

          I know this is pretty old question. I came across the same issue today. I thought I will share the solution so that some one else may find this useful.

           

          Instead of copying webapps/axis folder inside WEB-INF/ directly to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy, rename the folder to axis.war.

           

          Now it should work like anything.

           

          Thanks
