Re: Modifying Axis WAR file (Was Re: [Axis2 1.1.1] AAR file and web.xml)

[Schalk]

Hey Garth,

No, I reckon that if you need all applications under Tomcat to have 
access to DBCP access then adding that in Tomcat itself should be fine. 
However, if there is anything that is Axis/Web Service specific then it 
would be better to edit the web.xml under Axis for these settings as 
apposed to enforcing this on all application loaded by the container.

Good info. It raises another question, however. If I am setting up 
DBCP for Tomcat, why does the config go in the web.xml for Axis and 
not Tomcat? Dumb question but does that mean that any servlet 
accessing the database via DBCP must run under Axis?

Just curious,
Garth

Hi guys,
Here is a small description to de-mystify  this whole business of aars
and wars :)

The Axis2 war is a packaged version of the complete Axis2 setup, ready
to be deployed in a servlet container. aar files on the other hand are
archived service bundles that include class files, a descriptor file
called the services.xml and may be jar files needed by the service.
aar files go inside the Axis2 web app and cannot survive alone inside
a servlet container. There is NO web.xml inside the aar file. If there
is a reference to a web.xml that probably means the web.xml inside the
Axis2 war.

As far as your situation is considered I guess you should edit the
Axis2/WEB-INF/web.xml  that you'll find inside the tomcat webapps
directory. The web.xml inside the conf is a global setting and editing
that will enforce the same configuration to all the webapps running in
your server.
