Martin: I never tried but I think it works like this:
Step 1: Deploy your Web services Step 2: Make sure that the class files or jar files that are used by the Web services reside at web-inf/classes or web-inf/lib Step 3: Compress the whole axis directory into a ZIP file Step 4: Rename this ZIP file to WAR Step 5: Deploy it Check if above procedure works and kindly inform me. Good luck!

I have a webapp containing axis and a web.xml much like the one in webapps/axis/WEB-INF. The jars for the webservices I want are also included and I can deploy them okay using the AdminClient and a .wdss file. However, I want to be able to have the webservices already deployed so I can just deploy the war containing everything and the webservices will be innediately useable without running the AdminClient. I have read the FAQ and the docs and searched the list archives but I can't see how to do this. Can anyone help? Regards, Martin. DCS Transport and Logistics Solutions http://www.dcstrans.com
