Looks like you mentioned JBoss in your original email:) In JBoss, apps are temporarily unpacked and run from a location like to: \jboss\server\default\tmp\deploy\* If you place anything into this folder, it will be cleared upon the next restart.

I'm not sure what type of app server you're using, but if your AAR is disappearing, then you're probably putting it inside some "runtime" deployment of Axis2 that the server recreates each time the server starts. Hence, anything placed into this temporary location will be gone upon restarts. -Vinh ________________________________ From: Nate Roe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 4:54 PM To: 'axis-user@ws.apache.org' Subject: RE: web service deployment options I don't know what I did differently, but this is not the case for me. When I was using AAR deployment, bouncing JBoss would never un-deploy my AARs. ________________________________ From: Dennis Sacks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 4:45 PM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: Re: web service deployment options Great info! Thanks for alerting me to that. Does anyone know however, if I do want to use the axis2 web application, is there a way to make a deployed service persist through an application server restart? Now, when I bounce JBoss, I must reload my webservice .aar file, as the service is no longer there.

Does everyone install the axis2 web application and deploy using that? Are there other options? When I stop and restart JBoss (the app server I'm using), I have to upload my web service into the axis2 web application again. Is there a way to avoid having to do that? Dennis
