 <p>All the required jars are shipped with the binary distribution.</p>

 <p>Running the Maven build will automatically download the required jars when
 using source distribution.</p>
 <a name="_Toc96698083"></a>
 <h3>Setting up the Environment and Tools</h3>
 <a name="maven"></a>
 <h4>Maven</h4>

 <p>The Axis2 build is based on</p>
 <a href="http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/">Maven </a>. Hence the only
 prerequisite to build Axis2 from source distribution is to have Maven
 installed. Extensive instruction guides are available at the Maven site.This
 guide however contains the easiest path for quick environment setting.
 Advanced users who wish to know more about Maven can visit <a
 href="http://maven.apache.org/start/index.html">here </a>.
 <ul>
   <li>Windows</li>
 </ul>
 <ol>
   <li>Download and run the Windows installer package</li>
   <li>Set the 'Environment Variables' ( create system variable MAVEN_HOME and
     edit path. eg: "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\maven-1.0.2";
     path %MAVEN_HOME%\bin)</li>
   <li>Make sure that system variable JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your
     JDK, eg. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02</li>
   <li>Run maven --version to verify that it is correctly installed.</li>
 </ol>

 <p align="center"><img alt="clip_image002 (15K)"
 src="images/clip_image002.jpg" height="211" width="477"></p>
 <ul>
   <li>Unix based OS (Linux etc)</li>
 </ul>

 <p>The tar ball or the zip archive is the best option. Once the archive is
 downloaded expand it to a directory of choice and set the environment
 variable MAVEN_HOME and add MAVEN_HOME/bin to the path as well. More
 instructions for installing Maven in Unix based operating systems can be
 found <a href="http://maven.apache.org/start/install.html">here </a>.</p>

 <p>Once maven is properly installed you can start building Axis2.</p>
 <a name="_Toc96698085"></a>

 <h4>The Axis2 source distribution</h4>

 <p>The <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi">source distribution
 </a> is available as a zipped archive. All the necessary build scripts are
 included with the source distribution. Once the source archive is expanded
 into a directory of choice, moving to the particular directory and running
 maven command will build the Axis2 jar file.</p>

 <p align="center"><img alt="clip_image004 (43K)" src="images/maven.jpg"
 height="248" width="668"></p>

 <p>Once the command completes, the binaries (jar files in this case) can be
 found at a newly created "target" directory.</p>

 <p><strong>Note: For the first Maven build (if the maven repository is not
 built first) it will take a while since required jars need to be downloaded.
 However this is a once only process and will not affect any successive
 builds.</strong></p>

 <p><strong></strong>The default maven build will however build only the Axis2
 jar file. To obtain a WAR (Web Archive), "maven war" command should be
 issued. This will create a complete WAR with the name axis2.war inside the
 target directory.</p>

 <p>Once this build step is complete, the binaries are ready to be
 deployed.</p>
 <a name="_Toc96698086"></a>

 <h3>Installing Axis2 in a Servlet container</h3>
 <ol>
   <li><a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi">Download</a> Axis2 war file</li>
   <li>Drop the war in the webapps folder. Most servlet containers will
     automatically install war. (some servlet containers may require a restart
     in order to capture the new web application. Refer your servlet container
     documentation for more information about this.)</li>
   <li>Once the WAR is successfully installed, test it by pointing the web
     browser to the <strong>http:// &lt;host :port&gt;/ axis2. </strong>It
     should produce the following page which is the <strong>Axis2 Web
     Application Home Page</strong>.</li>

   <p align="center"><strong><img src="images/clip_image006.jpg"
   alt=""></strong></p>

   <p></p>
   <li>Use validate link to ensure that everything is fine and smooth. If the
     validation fails then the war has failed to install properly or some
     essential jars are missing. At such a situation the documentation of the
     particular servlet container should be consulted to find the problem. The
     following page is a successful validation. Note the statement core Axis2
     libraries are present.
     <p></p>
   </li>

   <p align="center"><strong><img src="images/happyaxis.jpg"
   alt=""></strong></p>
 </ol>
 <a name="upload"></a>
 <h4>Uploading services</h4>
 <ol>
   <p>The Axis2 web application also provides an interface to upload services.
   Once a service is created according to the service specification as
   described in userguide that jar file can be uploaded using the upload
   page.</p>

   <p align="center"><strong><img src="images/clip_image010.jpg"
   alt=""></strong></p>

   <p>The uploaded jar files will be stored in the default service directory.
   For Axis2 this will be the &lt;webapps&gt;/axis2/WEB-INF/services
   directory. Once a service is uploaded it will be installed instantly.</p>

   <p>Since Axis2 supports hot deployment one can drop the service jar
   directly through the file system to the above mentioned services
   directory.It will also cause the service to be automatically installed
   without the container being restarted.</p>

   <p>Use the 'Services' link on the Web Application home page to check the
   successful installation of a service. The services and the operations of
   successfully installed services will be displayed in the available services
   page.</p>

   <p align="center"><img src="images/clip_image012.jpg" alt=""></p>

   <p></p>

   <p>If the service has deployment time error it will list those services as
   faulty services. If you click on the link you can see the your deployment
   fault error message(s).</p>

   <p align="center"><img src="images/faultservice.jpg" alt=""></p>

   <p>Deployment time error message</p>

   <p align="center"><strong><img src="images/faultmsg.jpg"
   alt=""></strong></p>

   <p></p>

   <p>Axis2 Administration is all about configuring Axis2 at the run time and
   the configuration will be transient. More descriptions are available in <a
   href="webadminguide.html">Axis2 Web Administration Guide</a></p>

	<h4>Uploading services</h4>
	<ol>
	<p>The Axis2 web application also provides an interface to upload services.
	Once a service is created according to the service specification as
	described in userguide that jar file can be uploaded using the upload
	page.</p>

	<p align="center"><strong><img src="images/clip_image010.jpg"
	alt=""></strong></p>

	<p>The uploaded jar files will be stored in the default service directory.
	For Axis2 this will be the <webapps>/axis2/WEB-INF/services
	directory. Once a service is uploaded it will be installed instantly.</p>

	<p>Since Axis2 supports hot deployment one can drop the service jar
	directly through the file system to the above mentioned services
	directory.It will also cause the service to be automatically installed
	without the container being restarted.</p>

	<p>Use the 'Services' link on the Web Application home page to check the
	successful installation of a service. The services and the operations of
	successfully installed services will be displayed in the available services
	page.</p>

	<p align="center"><img src="images/clip_image012.jpg" alt=""></p>

	<p></p>

	<p>If the service has deployment time error it will list those services as
	faulty services. If you click on the link you can see the your deployment
	fault error message(s).</p>

	<p>Axis2 Administration is all about configuring Axis2 at the run time and
