Various permutations of this question have come up a few times on this list,
and it seems no consistent solution has been presented.
I'm using Axis 1.0rc1. I have my server-config.wsdd file in my Axis WEB-INF
directory. When I start Axis (within Tomcat), it reads the file just fine
and provides whatever services are described. No errors anywhere.
I can furthermore use the AdminClient to deploy new services, which work and
show up in the service list ("java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient
list"). This returned service list *looks* like a new server-config.wsdd
file, but that file itself is not updated.
The server-config.wsdd file is *never* written, and when I quit Axis/Tomcat
(using "catalina stop") and start it up again, it rereads the config file
and I have to redeploy everything.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it *was* working for me before (when the
server-config file was in the wrong place and I was getting errors, but it
was writing it anyway...), and that perhaps something odd has changed in my
config somewhere (such as I moved the server-config.wsdd to the "right
place").
When is the server-config.wsdd file SUPPOSED to get written? On a change?
On shutdown? Where is it supposed to be? I'd love to download a newer
release, but the download pages have been white and empty for a couple days
now. Any clues?
Thanks for the help, and I'm sure a good response will help lot of other
people who are equally frustrated getting this seemingly simple server setup
to work.
