Hi Michael, As Matthias said, by default the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) creates it's own webapps directory in WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0. You should find your exploded war there.
Also of note, the WTP 2.x Web service tools can generate Axis2 services. I don't know all of the specifics but you may be interested in these tools. Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/07/2008 03:06 AM Please respond to axis-user@ws.apache.org To <axis-user@ws.apache.org> cc Subject AW: eclipse and axis2 Hi Michael, I am not using Axis2 for a long time, but I'm using eclipse for quite a while. So all other users, please correct me if I'm wrong. What version of eclipse do you have installed? I assume it is a current version with Web Tools plugin. I installed the eclipse Version for Java EE Developers. The easiest way I encountered to setup an axis2 eclipse project is first telling eclipse where your Axis2 distribution is. Therefore set the Axis2 Runtime location to your axis2 installation directory (in eclipse: Window -> Preferences -> Web Services -> Axis2 Preferences). Now you can create a new dynamic web project with an axis2 nature which arranges all necessary libraries for you. The other problem why eclipse does not deploy your axis2.war is probably the feature of eclipse that it does not modify your tomcat installation in standard mode. Therefore it does not deploy your webapps installed to this tomcat. You can change this setting when you doubleclick on your server and change the "Server Locations" to "Use Tomcat Installation". That way your axis2.war should be deployed. HTH, Matthias. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Michael Potter Gesendet: Donnerstag, 6. März 2008 23:10 An: axis-user@ws.apache.org Betreff: eclipse and axis2 Axis2 Crew, I am trying to use Eclipse to edit existing webservices that are in the form of .aar files. At this point I have tomcat successfully installed and working with Eclipse. The problem I am having is getting Axis2 installed and working with Eclipse. I downloaded Axis2 and built the axis2.war file. I moved the axis2.war into webapps directory. I expected the .war file to expand when I started tomcat. I start tomcat using the context sensitive menu in Eclipse. Is there something special about the way Eclipse starts tomcat where it does not expand a .war file? Can anyone give me some hints about other things I may run into when using axis2 with Eclipse? -- Michael Potter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
