Web Sevice Auto Deployment

[raj . x . arunmugan]

Hello I created a simple Web Application in WSAD and deployed it successfully in my WebSphere Test Environment that comes with WSAD. I ran axis AdminClient to deploy the web service and noted that  it created server-config.wsdd  under WEB-INF/classes on my workspace

 Then I created a WAR file  and deployed it in Websphere  Application Server .. I notice that my  DataInquiry   Web service is listed as one of the service . if I go the   http://testserver:9080/WSWAR/services.( Remember I did not RUN the admin client to deploy the service on the application server)  when I try to invoke the service I am getting

a RemoteException with an AxisFault shown below

AxisFault
 faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Client
 faultSubcode:
 faultString: No such operation 'inquiryRequest'

My understanding was.. if  I have the service defined in the server-config.wsdd  I don't need to run the admin client  on the Application Server inorder to deploy the web service on the application server.. since it is defined on  server-config.wsdd .. axis will auto deploy the service..( I don't know the mechanism behind admin and version web servies , how they are auto deployed )

 PLEASE correct me if I am wrong ( I hope so)...  I wanted to run the AdminClient but I don't have any user-id and password for the server ..I have access only to the Web Sphere Admin Console. to deploy EAR or WAR files

Thanks a lot in advance for your help/
