That goes under WEB-INF in the war file.

 

    MyApp.ear
        axis.jar
        my-axis-ejb-client.jar
        my-axis-web-app.war

            WEB-INF

                server-config.wsdd

Naresh,

 

I am trying to do the similar project. However, I was not able to package server-config.wsdd. Where and how did you package it?

 

Brian

Subject: Packaging WSDL in an ear file

Hi,

My J2EE application is both an Axis client and an Axis Server. Since Axis.jar is quite large (~ 1MB), I would like to package it only once in my ear file. So, instead of putting it in my web-app, I am packaging it at the top level of my ear file where it is shared by the webapp and the ejb client. Here's the ear structure:

    MyApp.ear
        axis.jar
        my-axis-ejb-client.jar
        my-axis-web-app.war

This works fine for the most part, the client and the server are both functioning well. The only problem is where to place my WSDL (yes I need to use my own WSDL). I have setup my server-config.wsdd with the following wsdl specification:

    <wsdlFile>/myservice.wsdl</wsdlFile>

Unfortunately, with the ear packaging shown above, the classloader is looking for myservice.wsdl inside axis.jar - at its top level! I have verified this by placing the wsdl inside axis.jar. Is there a way to force axis to look for the wsdl elsewhere, preferably somewhere in my war? Even at the top level of my ear would be fine.

I see that axis uses "this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(filename)" to get at the WSDL. Since axis.jar is at the ear root, the classloader wants to look inside this jar!

Thanks.
Naresh
