Hi,
I am trying to embed axis2 in a web application. I found and followed this
article by Deepal Jayasinghe:
http://www.developer.com/services/article.php/3777111/Embedding-Apache-Axis2-into-Existing-Applications.htm
and by doing it exactly as is and placing an .aar service file in services, it
worked (I saw the WSDL in the browser).
My problem is the following: is this the only way to embed axis in a web-app?
I.e inside the WEB-INF of webapp I must copy /conf/axis2.xml, /modules, /lib
etc?
The reason I am asking is because I have seen an embedded app with the
following
setup:
TOMCAT-HOME
/MyApplication
|
/WEB-INF
|
web.xml
services.xml ---> refers to
a service class e.g. com.x.y.z.serviceImp
axis2.xml
/lib
-axis and other jars
-myService.jar --->
Contains service com.x.y.z.serviceImp referred by services.xml
Other directories and files
This setup works and the only thing I noticed is that the web.xml contains the
following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SomeRandomWebService</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
I mean that the servlet-class is NOT
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet
(but plain axis). Does this mean axis1?
Anyway I tried to replicate this setup but it was impossible. I kept getting
either 404 errors or "org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The AXIS engine could not
find
a target service to invoke!"error by tweaking the setup in my attempt.
I think that I have big missunderstanding of axis concepts due to I am an axis
starter.
Could someone please help me on this one?
How come, I can not do the same setup? Any info on this is highly welcome.
Thank you
