<h1>General</h1>
<ol>
<li><strong>I see OMElements in all the signatures, in the stubs, Client
API and in skeletons. Where is data binding?</strong><br>
<p>Axis2 supports databinding using XML-Beans from 0.9 release. For more
information please read the <a href="0_94/userguide.html">user guide</a></p>
</li>
<li><a name="a2"><strong>What is OMElement, What does it
represents?</strong></a><br>
<p>OMElement is Axis2 representation of XML, it provide a tree model like
DOM. If you are familiar with DOM or JDOM you can soon get familiarize
with OM quickly. For more information read<a href="0_94/OMTutorial.html">
Axiom Tutorial</a></p>
</li>
<li><strong>Integration security tests fail with JDK 1.5</strong></a><br>
<p>You have to add Bouncy Castle as a JCE provider. Add the following
entry to java.security file of the appropriate JRE on your machine. This file is
available in the lib\security\ directory within the JRE directory.</p>
<p>security.provider.7=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider</p>
<p>security.provider.# will have to be decided depending on the existing entries
in the java.security file</p>
<p>NOTE: For Windows XP the correct version can be found using 'java -version'. The
correct file is JRE (typically c:\Program
Files\Java\jre&lt;version&gt;\lib\security\java.security.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h1>Web Archive / Server side</h1>
<ol>
<li><strong>I see an internal server error page when I try to view the WSDL file.</strong><br>
<p>This happens specifically with tomcat 4.x and 5.0 in a JDK 1.5 environment. The reason is that the system picks up a wrong transformer
factory class. This can be solved simply by putting the xalan-2.7.0.jar(found <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/java-repository/xalan/jars/">here</a>) into the axis2/WEB-INF/lib directory</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h1>Client API</h1>
<ol>
<li><strong>I want to do request response Messaging, Where should I
look?</strong><br>
<p>Look at the <a
href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java/modules/core/src/org/apache/axis2/client/ServiceClient.java">ServiceClient</a>
class, for more information please read the <a href="0_94/userguide.html">user
guide</a></p>
</li>
<li><strong>I want to do One Way Messaging, Where should I
look?</strong><br>
<p>From Axis2 0.94 onwards, both request-response and one way messaging will be handled by <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis2/trunk/java/modules/core/src/org/apache/axis2/client/ServiceClient.java">ServiceClient</a>. </p>
</li>
<li><strong>When I try to do a non blocking call with use Separate Listener
true I get the error <i>to do two Transport Channels the Addressing
Modules must be engaged</i>, Why is this?</strong><br>
<p>To do the two transport Channel invocation you need to engage the
addressing module. You can enable it by un-commenting the entry in the
axis2.xml file or Call.engageModule(QName). But addressing is enabled by default. </p>
</li>
<li><strong>I have engaged addressing and when I trying to invoke a service I am getting an exception
</strong><br>
<p>If you have engaged addressing , then you have to have wsa:action , so you have to called <br/>
option.setAction(“urn:myaction”);
<br/>
It should be not that the action should be a URI.
</p>
</li>
<li><a name="b5"><strong>What is Axis Repository?</strong></a><br>
<p>Repository stores the configuration of Axis2, the users should specify
the repository folder starting the Axis Server (HTTP or TCP). In the case
of tomcat it is the webapps/axis2/WEB-INF folder. Following picture shows
a sample repository.</p>
<img src="images/faq/1.jpg">
<p>Modules and services have a archive format defined and they are
automatically picked up by Axis2 when they are copied to corresponding
folders.</p>
</ol>
<h1>Maven</h1>
<ol>
<li><strong>I just installed maven and it gives an error when I was
trying to run maven on Axis2 ......</strong>
<p>Axis2 requires itest plugin to run some of the tests. Better get
it using following command.</p>
<ul>
<li>maven plugin:download -DgroupId=maven-itest-plugin
-DartifactId=maven-itest-plugin -Dversion=1.0
-Dmaven.repo.remote=http://www.openejb.org/maven,http://www.ibiblio.org/maven</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>I have problems building with maven 1.1</strong> ....<br>
</p>
<p>It seems that maven 1.1 doesn't come bundled with the required
artifact plugin. Run following to get it updated<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>maven plugin:download -DgroupId=maven
-DartifactId=maven-artifact-plugin -Dversion=1.6</li>
<p>You may need to update the itest plugin too, using the above
command in #1.</p>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>What are the frequently used maven commands ?</strong></li>
