35
36<div><p>This runtime environment is for users who prefer to develop for
37the open Apache Axis platform. Both Axis1 and Axis2 are supported by the Web
38services tools.</p>
39
40<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Apache Axis2 Overview</h4><p>Axis2 evolved from the Apache
41Axis1.x architecture and is more flexible, configurable, and efficient, while
42retaining the positive aspects of Apache Axis1.x architecture.</p>
43<div class="p">The Web
44service tools provided with this product support the following specifications
45when creating Apache Axis2 Web services and clients:<ul>
46<li>SOAP 1.1 and 1.2</li>
47
48<li>WSDL 1.1, including both SOAP and HTTP bindings </li>
49
50<li>HTTP transports</li>
51
52</ul>
53The levels of Axis2 currently supported by the tools is 1.2 and 1.3.
54Axis2 can be deployed to any server that supports Java™ Servlet 2.2 specification or higher,
55including IBM<sup>®</sup> WebSphere<sup>®</sup> Application
56Server 6.1, and Apache Tomcat server. For more information on Axis2, refer
57to <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/" target="_blank">http://ws.apache.org/axis2</a>. </div>
58<p>The
59support for Apache Axis2 is limited to validation that the application is
60invoking the Axis2 emitters correctly. Support for other Axis2 issues should
61be directed to <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/" target="_blank">http://ws.apache.org/axis2</a></p>
62</div>
63
64<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Installing the Apache Axis2 runtime</h4><div class="p">Unlike creating
65Web services in the Apache Axis1.x runtime, before creating a Web service
66using Apache Axis2 you must download the Axis2 runtime and install it the
67workbench using the Web services Axis2 preferences page.<ol>
68<li>Download Apache Axis2 v1.2 or v1.3 from the following site: <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi" target="_blank">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi</a>.</li>
69
70<li>Follow the instructions in the appropriate Apache Axis2 installation guide: <ul>
71<li>Apache Axis2 v1.2<a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_2/installationguide.html" target="_blank">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_2/installationguide.html</a></li>
72
73<li>Apache Axis2 v1.3<a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_3/installationguide.html" target="_blank">http://ws.apache.org/axis2/1_3/installationguide.html</a></li>
74
75</ul>
76</li>
77
78<li>Once the Apache Axis2 runtime is installed, you need to associate it with
79the workbench. In the workbench, open <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Window</span>
80 &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Web services</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Axis2
81Preferences</span></span>. On the <span class="uicontrol">Axis2 Runtime</span> tab,
82browse to the location where you installed Apache Axis2. A message will display
83if the runtime is installed successfully.</li>
84
85</ol>
86</div>
87</div>
88
89<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Creating projects for Axis2 Web services</h4><div class="p">The Web
90service wizards will automatically add the correct facets to a dynamic Web
91project. However if you want to manually create a dynamic Web project enabled
92for Axis2 Web service development complete the following:<ol>
93<li>Create the service Web project by clicking <span class="uicontrol">File &gt; New &gt; Project
94&gt; Dynamic Web project</span>. Enter the following information: <ol type="a">
95<li>Project Name: Type a project name</li>
96
97<li>If you are deploying to a Tomcat server, ensure that <span class="uicontrol">Add project
98to an EAR</span> is not selected. If you do not clear this checkbox you
99will be unable to select the Tomcat server. If you are deploying to WebSphere Application
100server you will need to add the project to an EAR.</li>
101
102<li>Target runtime: Select the version of the server to which you will deploy
103your Web service. If it is not listed, click <span class="uicontrol">New</span> and
104browse to the location where it is installed.</li>
105
106<li>Configurations: Select the default configuration for your server type.</li>
107
108<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>.</li>
109
110</ol>
111</li>
112
113<li>Add the Axis2 facet. Right-click your project and click <span class="menucascade">
114<span class="uicontrol">Properties</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Project Facets</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Modify
115project</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Axis2 Web Services</span></span>,
116and click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span>.</li>
117
118<li>If you have chosen to deploy to a server in which the Axis2 JAR files
119will reside on the server (such as WebSphere Application Server), you must
120change the classloading for the EAR from PARENT_FIRST to PARENT_LAST. Expand
121the EAR associated with your Axis2 project, and launch its deployment descriptor.
122On the <span class="uicontrol">Deployment</span> tab, expand the <span class="uicontrol">Application</span> section.
123Change the <span class="uicontrol">Classloader mode</span> field to PARENT_LAST and
124save your changes.</li>

135The Web Service wizard assists you in creating a new Web service, configuring it for deployment, and deploying the Web service to a server. Once your Web service is deployed, the wizard assists you in generating the client proxy and sample application to test the Web service. When you have completed testing, you can publish your Web service to a UDDI Business Registry using the Export wizard.</li>

137The Web service wizard assists you in creating a skeleton bean from an existing WSDL document. The skeleton bean contains a set of methods that correspond to the operations described in the WSDL document. When the bean is created, each method has a trivial implementation that you replace by editing the bean.</li>
