 <section><title>Apache Axis2 Overview</title><p>Axis2 evolved from the Apache
 Axis1.x architecture and is more flexible, configurable, and efficient, while
 retaining the positive aspects of Apache Axis1.x architecture.</p><p>The Web
 service tools provided with this product support the following specifications
 when creating Apache Axis2 Web services and clients:<ul>
 <li>SOAP 1.1 and 1.2</li>
 <li>WSDL 1.1, including both SOAP and HTTP bindings </li>
 <li>HTTP transports</li>
 </ul>The levels of Axis2 currently supported by the tools is 1.2 and 1.3.
 Axis2 can be deployed to any server that supports <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Sun Microsystems, Inc."
 tmtype="tm" trademark="Java">Java</tm> Servlet 2.2 specification or higher,
 including <tm tmclass="ibm" tmowner="IBM Corporation" tmtype="reg" trademark="IBM">IBM</tm> <tm
 tmclass="ibm" tmowner="IBM Corporation" tmtype="reg" trademark="WebSphere">WebSphere</tm> Application
 Server 6.1, and Apache Tomcat server. For more information on Axis2, refer
 to <xref format="html" href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/" scope="external">http://ws.apache.org/axis2</xref>. </p><p>The
 support for Apache Axis2 is limited to validation that the application is
 invoking the Axis2 emitters correctly. Support for other Axis2 issues should
 be directed to <xref format="html" href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/" scope="external">http://ws.apache.org/axis2</xref></p></section>
 <section><title>Installing the Apache Axis2 runtime</title><p>Unlike creating
 Web services in the Apache Axis1.x runtime, before creating a Web service
 using Apache Axis2 you must download the Axis2 runtime and install it the
 workbench using the Web services Axis2 preferences page.<ol>
 <li>Download Apache Axis2 v1.2 or v1.3 from the following site: <xref format="html"
 href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi" scope="external">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi</xref>.</li>
 <li>Follow the instructions in the appropriate Apache Axis2 installation guide: <ul>
 <li>Apache Axis2 v1.2<xref format="html" href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_2/installationguide.html"
 scope="external">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_2/installationguide.html</xref></li>
 <li>Apache Axis2 v1.3<xref format="html" href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_3/installationguide.html"
 scope="external">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_3/installationguide.html</xref></li>
 </ul></li>
 <li>Once the Apache Axis2 runtime is installed, you need to associate it with
 the workbench. In the workbench, open <menucascade><uicontrol>Window</uicontrol>
 <uicontrol>Preferences</uicontrol><uicontrol>Web services</uicontrol><uicontrol>Axis2
 Preferences</uicontrol></menucascade>. On the <uicontrol>Axis2 Runtime</uicontrol> tab,
 browse to the location where you installed Apache Axis2. A message will display
 if the runtime is installed successfully.</li>
 </ol></p></section>
 <section><title>Creating projects for Axis2 Web services</title><p>The Web
 service wizards will automatically add the correct facets to a dynamic Web
 project. However if you want to manually create a dynamic Web project enabled
 for Axis2 Web service development complete the following:<ol>
 <li>Create the service Web project by clicking <uicontrol>File > New > Project
 > Dynamic Web project</uicontrol>. Enter the following information: <ol>
 <li>Project Name: Type a project name</li>
 <li>If you are deploying to a Tomcat server, ensure that <uicontrol>Add project
 to an EAR</uicontrol> is not selected. If you do not clear this checkbox you
 will be unable to select the Tomcat server. If you are deploying to <tm tmclass="ibm"
 tmowner="IBM Corporation" tmtype="reg" trademark="WebSphere">WebSphere</tm> Application
 server you will need to add the project to an EAR.</li>
 <li>Target runtime: Select the version of the server to which you will deploy
 your Web service. If it is not listed, click <uicontrol>New</uicontrol> and
 browse to the location where it is installed.</li>
 <li>Configurations: Select the default configuration for your server type.</li>
 <li>Click <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol>.</li>
 </ol></li>
 <li>Add the Axis2 facet. Right-click your project and click <menucascade>
 <uicontrol>Properties</uicontrol><uicontrol>Project Facets</uicontrol><uicontrol>Modify
 project</uicontrol><uicontrol>Axis2 Web Services</uicontrol></menucascade>,
 and click <uicontrol>Finish</uicontrol>.</li>
 <li>If you have chosen to deploy to a server in which the Axis2 JAR files
 will reside on the server (such as WebSphere Application Server), you must
 change the classloading for the EAR from PARENT_FIRST to PARENT_LAST. Expand
 the EAR associated with your Axis2 project, and launch its deployment descriptor.
 On the <uicontrol>Deployment</uicontrol> tab, expand the <uicontrol>Application</uicontrol> section.
 Change the <uicontrol>Classloader mode</uicontrol> field to PARENT_LAST and
 save your changes.</li>
