| <h1>Apache Axis2/Java Version 1.1.1 Documentation Index</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Introduction</h2> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2, the third generation Web services engine is more efficient, |
| more modular and more XML-oriented than its predecessor <a |
| href="http://ws.apache.org/axis/">Apache Axis</a>. It is carefully designed |
| to support the easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend its |
| functionality for features such as security and reliability.</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2 Version 1.1.1 comes to you with performance improvements and |
| bug fixes over the 1.1 release.</p> |
| |
| <p>This page will take you through the list of documents we have in store for |
| you.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Apache Axis2 User's Guide</h2> |
| |
| <p>You can get started with Axis2 with the assistance of the following |
| documents. They will guide you through Axis2 download, installation both as a |
| standalone Web services engine and as part of a J2EE compliant servlet |
| container, not forgetting the instructions on how to write Web services and |
| Web services client using Apache Axis2.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="userguide.html#intro">Introduction</a>- This opening document |
| gives you an introduction to what Axis2 is, the life cycle of a Web |
| services messages, how Axis2 handles SOAP Messages and also includes |
| basic description on Axis2 distributions and how Axis2 behaves as part of |
| a Web application or as a standalone client that is not part of a J2EE |
| application.</li> |
| <li><a href="installationguide.html">Download and Installation</a>- Will |
| list the different distribution packages offered by Axis2, and in-depth |
| instructions on installation methods for standalone and as part of a J2EE |
| servlet container.</li> |
| <li><a href="userguide-installingtesting.html">Testing Client Code</a> - |
| The best way to make sure that your system is running Axis2 is to install |
| and test both a service and a client. This document describes this |
| process easy to understand steps.</li> |
| <li><a href="userguide-introtoservices.html">Introduction to Services</a> - |
| The term "Web services" can apply to a number of different ways to send |
| information back and forth, but this guide focuses on the sending and |
| receiving of SOAP messages and Message Exchange Patterns (MEPs).</li> |
| <li><a href="userguide-creatingclients.html">Creating Clients from WSDL</a> |
| - When it comes to creating a Web service client, you can do it manually |
| as described in the next document, but in most cases you have a Web |
| Service Description Language (WSDL) definition that describes the |
| messages clients should send and expect to receive. Axis2 provides |
| several ways to use this definition to automatically generate a client. |
| This document explains just how to create a client using WSDL |
| definitions.</li> |
| <li><a href="userguide-buildingservices.html">Building Services from |
| Scratch</a> - Now that you know how to use Axis2 to generate clients from |
| WSDL as described in the document before, this document digs a little |
| deeper, showing you how to create services, and how to create both |
| services and clients "from scratch", so to speak.</li> |
| <li><a href="userguide-samples.html">Samples</a> - The Axis2 Standard |
| Distribution provides a number of samples you can use as a guide for |
| implementing specific features and capabilities. These services are |
| listed in this document with basic introductions.</li> |
| <li><a href="userguide-forfurtherstudy.html">For Further Study</a> - This |
| section lists resource documents for further study. |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="pojoguide.html">POJO Web Services using Apache |
| Axis2</a>-This guide will show you how to create a Plain Old Java |
| Object (POJO) to deploy using Apache Axis2 on Apache Tomcat. POJOs |
| are fast to build and easy to maintain, meaning you'll save a lot of |
| time building and debugging your code</li> |
| <li><a href="quickstartguide.html">Axis2 Quick Start Guide</a>-The |
| purpose of this guide is to get you started on creating services and |
| clients using Axis2 as quickly as possible. It demonstrates how to |
| create Web services using a variety of different technologies.</></li> |
| </ul> |

| questions in mind. |
