| |
| binary distribution on Linux : </p><ol> |
| |
| <li>Extract the binary tar package to a folder.</li> |
| |
| <li>Set the AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where |
| |
| you have extracted Axis2/C |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>AXIS2C_HOME='/your_path_to_axis2c'</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>export AXIS2C_HOME</code></li> |
| |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> You will need to set the AXIS2C_HOME only if |
| |
| you need to run the Axis2/C samples. The reason is that the samples use |
| |
| AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to the Axis2/C repository. This is not |
| |
| required to write your own services or clients. </p> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Run the simple axis server: |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>To start the simple axis server on the default port 9090, run the |
| |
| following commands. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>cd /your_path_to_axis2c/bin</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>./axis2_http_server</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>To see the possible command line options run <code>./axis2_http_server -h</code> |
| |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> If you run into shared library problems, |
| |
| try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the lib folder containing |
| |
| the Axis2/C libs.</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/your_path_to_axis2c/lib</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Run the sample clients in a new shell |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>cd /your_path_to_axis2c/bin/samples</code></li> |
| |
| <li>To run the client for echo service |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>./echo</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>To run the client for math service |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>./math</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>To see the possible command line options for the sample clients, |
| |
| run them with the '-h' option</li> |
| |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> If you run into shared library problems, try |
| |
| setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/your_path_to_axis2c/lib</code></li> |

| |
| the source distribution on Linux :</p><ol> |
| |
| <li>Extract the source tar package to a folder.</li> |
| |
| <li>Set the AXIS2C_HOME environment variable pointing to the location where |
| |
| you want to install Axis2/C |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>AXIS2C_HOME='/your_desired_path_to_axis2c_installation'</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>export AXIS2C_HOME</code></li> |
| |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> You will have to set AXIS2C_HOME only if you |
| |
| want to run the Axis2/C samples. The reason is that the samples use |
| |
| AXIS2C_HOME to get the path to the Axis2/C repository. This is not |
| |
| required to write your own services or clients.</p> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Then go to the folder where you extracted the source. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>cd /your_path_to_axis2c_source</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Build the source |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>This can be done using the following command sequence, in the |
| |
| directory where you have extracted the source: |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>./configure</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>make</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>make install</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Use <code>./configure --help</code> for possible command line options.</li> |
| |
| <li><strong>Note:</strong> If you do not provide a <code>--prefix</code> configure |
| |
| option, the default installation would be in the /usr/local/axis2c |
| |
| directory.</li> |
| |
| <li>You may have to try Axis2/C with Guththila XML parser. You can do |
| |
| that by providing the <code>--enable-guththila=yes</code> option when configuring. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>./configure --enable-guththila=yes</code> [other configuration |
| |
| options]</li> |
| |
| <li><code>make</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>make install</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>If you want to get the samples working, you have to build the |
| |
| samples. <br></br> |
| |
| To build the samples: |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path_you_installed_axis2c/lib/</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>cd samples</code></li> |
| <li><code>./configure --prefix=${AXIS2C_HOME} |
| --with-axis2=${AXIS2C_HOME}/include/axis2-1.2</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>make</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>make install</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Please run <code>./configure --help</code> in the samples folder for more |
| |
| information on the configure options.</li> |
| |
| <li><strong>Note:</strong> If you do not provide a <code>--prefix</code> configure |
| |
| option, by default, the samples will be installed into the |
| |
| "/usr/local/axis2c/bin/samples" directory.</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Go to where you installed Axis2/C.</li> |
| |
| <li>Start the simple axis server. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>To start the simple axis server on port 9090, run the following |
| |
| command lines. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>cd /path_you_installed_axis2c/bin</code></li> |
| |
| <li><code>./axis2_http_server</code></li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>To see the possible command line options, run <code>./axis2_http_server |
| |
| -h</code></li> |
| |
| <li><strong>Note:</strong> You may have to be logged in as a superuser |
| |
| to run the simple axis server if you installed Axis2/C as a super |
| |
| user.</li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Run the sample clients in a new shell using the following command lines. |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><code>cd /path_you_installed_axis2c/bin/samples</code></li> |
| |
| <li>To run the client for the echo service |
