<h1>Service Archive Wizard - Eclipse Plug-in</h1> | |
<p>Axis2 comes with a simple service archiver tool. This tool provides easy to use functionality to develop a axis archive or an "aar" file or a "jar" file that can be deployed as a web service to the Axis2. This tool is in the form of | |
an Eclipse plug-in and can be downloaded from the downloads section. The | |
following sections describe how the tool can be used.</p> | |
<h2>Installation</h2> | |
<p> | |
Download the binary version of the plug-in and extract the content of the zip | |
file into the Eclipse installation folder. (The plug-in will actually go into | |
the plugins directory in the Eclipse installation root). Restarting Eclipse will set | |
the plug-in automatically. | |
</p> | |
<h2>Operation</h2> | |
<p>If the plug-in is properly installed you should see a new wizard under the | |
"New" section.(use the File -> New -> Other or Ctrl + N ) </p> | |

<p>Once the class file folder is given (which should be a folder in the file | |
system) the next button will be enabled. Page 2 of the wizard requires you to | |
locate the server.xml</p> | |

<p>Note that the automatic generation of the service.xml is disabled for this | |
release. After the service.xml is located you can point to the output location | |
and specify the file name.</p> | |

<p>Once all the parameters are filled, finishing the wizard will generate the | |
service archive. This service archive can be hot deployed to the axis2.</p> | |
