| <h1>Apache Axis2 User's Guide - Installing and Testing Client |
| Code</h1> |
| |
| <p>The best way to make sure that your system is running Apache |
| Axis2 is to install and test both a service and a client. The |
| process involves the following steps:</p> |

| <p><b>The Short Story:</b></p> |
| |
| <ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| |
| <li>Install Apache Axis2 in a suitable container, such as Apache |
| Tomcat, by copying the axis2.war file to the webapps |
| directory.</li> |
| |
| <li>Install the service into the Axis2 application by copying the |
| *.aar file into the Axis2 services directory.</li> |
| |
| <li>Install the client on the system on which you want to run it, |
| and make sure all the Axis2 libraries are on the CLASSPATH.</li> |
| |
| <li>Run the client.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <p><b>The Long Story:</b></p> |
| |
| <p>Start by installing a suitable container, such as <a class="externalLink" href="http://tomcat.apache.org/">Apache Tomcat</a>. Any J2EE server will |
| do. To install Apache Axis2 on the server, <a href="../download.cgi">download</a> the Axis2 WAR |
| distribution and place the axis2.war file in the server's webapps directory. The |
| server will then expand the distribution into its proper structure, |
| as seen in the <a href="userguide.html#hierarchy">earlier |
| section</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2 services come bundled as *.aar files, which contain |
| all the pieces necessary to define the service, such as the |
| necessary classes and libraries and the services.xml file that |
| defines the service's behavior. You can install the service using |
| the <a href="webadminguide.html">Web administration |
| application</a>, but to make things simple for now, copy the *.aar |
| file into the Axis2 services directory. For example, to install the |
| MyService service distributed as one of the Axis2 samples, copy the |
| file <AXIS2_HOME>/samples/userguide/build/MyService.aar file, |
| which is built using the <tt>ant</tt> command, from |
| <AXIS2_HOME>/samples/userguide, to the directory |
| <J2EE_HOME>/webapps/axis2/WEB-INF/services.</p> |
| |
| <p>Your client can come in any number of forms, from a collection |
| of files to a single *.jar file. The important thing is to ensure |
| that all the appropriate classes are on the classpath. In addition |
| to the classes that pertain to the actual client, you must also add |
| the Axis2 .jar files into the CLASSPATH. Normally you will do this |
| by downloading and unpacking the <a href="../download.cgi"> |
| Axis2 Standard Distribution</a> and adding the *.jar files in the |
| lib directory to your CLASSPATH, or you also have the option of |
| running your client using the axis2.bat (or axis2.sh) script, which |
| takes care of it for you. For example, you can run a client with |
| the command:</p> |
| |
| <p>axis2 org.apache.axis2.axis2userguide.Client.</p> |
