The Axis install says to just copy the webapps/axis folder to the App servers webapps directory. Since JBoss doesn't have one (that I know of, I'm just getting started) I assume that the JBoss equivalent is deploy.

When I do that I get the following:

OK fine. Now if I take the Axis directory and create a war from it and put it in the deploy folder, it works perfectly.

What do I need to do to get it to deploy the way described in the Axis directions? In other words, how do I get this deployed without creating a war? What does it mean when it says "waiting for a deployer"?

Sorry if this is a common question I typed "axis" into the search for this forum and got no results even though there are 4 posts with Axis in the title on the first page.l WTF?
