Thanks Keith. This client is a Mosquito Control county organization,
they don't need too much, just a simple App for web-services to sync
data from the PDA to an Access database.
Tomcat may be way overkill for their needs, so a simple web-service to
handle less than a dozen users might be just the thing for a standalone
Axis2.
And the web-service will be written in Java ... the code on the PDA side
will be written with Microsoft VB.NET as a Web-Service Client.
Thanks again for the help.

You don't need any other libraries to run Axis2 standalone server.
Tomcat is not essential but if you wish you can use the war
distribution so that you can use it with any application server.
Thanks,
Keith.

I am a newbie with Axis2, and I have a number of questions,
Before you
rip off my head and show it to me. let me explain myself first:
1) I have been developing for nearly 20 years, the last 10 have
been in
Java/J2EE
2) I have used Apache and Tomcat for years.
3) I have used Axis and developed Web-Services with Apache ... I don't
recall needing a Servlet container like Tomcat.
4) Yes I have been reading the documentation and googling, and
reading
the mailing list archives of which I am now subscribed to.
So, my situation is that I have a Windows laptop/desktop system. I
want to use Web-Services and certainly not IIS or other Microsoft
Technologies.
I want to use Axis2 which I download, extracted, and setup the home
directory with the environmental variables. The JDK 1.6 was
previously
installed and working.
I ran the Axis2Server.Bat and it is running fine. Do I still
need a
Servlet Container like Tomcat? If I run Axis2 as a stand-alone, do I
need Apache at all.
I don't really need a a full servlet container or full http server.
So, I imagine the standalone Axis2 should work for me to do
Web-Services.
The documentation seemed to say I still needed to build the war
file and
deploy it into web-apps, but I'm thinking that would only be the
case if
I was Axis2 under some
other App Server or Servlet Container.
Ultimately ... I am gonna have a PDA using Microsoft Technologies as a
web-services client. The PDA will send data to the Web-Service
under Axis2.
The Web-Services I hope to deploy to Axis2 will be written in Java
since
that is what I know. The Web-Service (written in Java) will
then open
to an
Access database to read/write data and return information in the
request
back to the PDA.
Please point me to starting resources for Axis2 web-site, and
again can
you answer some of those questions above. Thanks!
Tom
