Install

Download and extract:

axis-bin-1_2_1.zip

I copied it to:

C:\Tools\axis-1_2_1

Copy the folder:

C:\Tools\axis-1_2_1\webapps\axis\

to:

C:\Tools\Tomcat 5.5\webapps

So that the Tomcat folder structure looks like this:

C:\Tools\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes\

Download:

activation.jar

from:

http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html

unzip archive and copy activation.jar to:

C:\Tools\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib

Restart Tomcat… and test by loading this page:

http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp

The following url’s will run a web service on the server:

• http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Version?method=getVersion

• http://localhost:8080/axis/EchoHeaders.jws?method=list
