Well, basically you should have a .wsdd descriptor file for your service created. This file is xml-format file that describes your particular service. The command line below is what you write when you want to deploy that service to axis server. You can find example .wsdd files from axis samples-directory.
I hope this cleared things up and answered what you were asking. Please feel free to ask more if it didn't. Here's an enclosed .wsdd file from axis echo service (in samples directory) that installs an echo service to the server. This is from alpha 3 release version of axis. <deployment name="test" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"> <service name="http://soapinterop.org/" provider="java:RPC" > <parameter name="className" value="samples.echo.EchoService" /> <parameter name="methodName" value="*" /> </service> <typeMapping xmlns:echo="http://soapinterop.org/xsd" qname="echo:SOAPStruct" languageSpecificType="java:samples.echo.SOAPStruct" serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.BeanSerializer" deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.BeanSerializer$BeanSerFactory"/> </deployment> -----Original Message----- From: Monika Solanki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 4. maaliskuuta 2002 10:37 To: axis-user Subject: Help with installation of axis Can someone pls explain , what is this statement from the installation doc for axis suppose to mean Locate the deployment descriptor for your service and execute the following command: java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService deploy.wsdd Thanks Monika -- >**<>**<>**<>**<>**<>**<>**<>**<>**<>**< Monika Solanki De Montfort University Software Technology Research Laboratory Hawthorn building, H00.18 The Gateway.
