You are running the AdminClient from the wrong directory. You should be running it from the directory of the service you are trying to deploy which is where you will find the WSDD file. Note: you may have to change the file name if your WSDD has a different name. For instance, if you wish to run the Stock Quote service sample, run the AdminClient from the <AXIS-ROOT>\samples\stock directory, which does contain a deploy.wsdd file.
Once you fix this, step #6 should work. I can see, after reviewing the installation guide, how it is confusing. Essentially, in step #5 you need to deploy the Stock Quote service for Step #6 to work. But the installation guide just tells you to run the AdminClient tool for the WSDD file you wish to deploy. Somewhat misleading. regards- brenda -----Original Message----- From: Michael Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 3:48 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Need help on install AXIS First thanks for any hint and/or help. It seems that I miss something. Here is what I have done. 1) install tomcat 4.0.4-b2 2) copy axis to webapps under tomcat. 3) start tomcat web server 4) adding following jar files under axis\WEB-INF\lib to class path. axis.jar, clutil.jar, commons-logging.jar, jaxrpc.jar, log4j-core.jar, tt-bytecode.jar, wsdl4j.jar, xerces.jar So far so good. Then in webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes directory, run following command as Step 5 of installation guide. java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService deploy.wsdd I got C:\webservices\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes>java org.apache.ax is.client.AdminClient - lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService deploy .wsdd - Processing file lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService - Exception: java.io.FileNotFoundException: lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/services/AdminService (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:64) at org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient.process(Unknown Source) at org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient.process(Unknown Source) at org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient.process(Unknown Source) at org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient.main(Unknown Source) Also, I try to run testing of step 6. java samples.stock.GetQuote -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet -uuser1 -wpass1 XXX I got C:\webservices\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes>java samples.stock .GetQuote -lhttp://localhost:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet -uuser1 -wpass1 XXX AxisFault faultCode: ns1:Server.NoService faultString: The AXIS engine could not find a target service to invoke! target Service is null faultActor: null faultDetail: stackTrace: The AXIS engine could not find a target service to invoke! targetService is null at org.apache.axis.server.AxisServer.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet.doPost(Unknown Source) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:760) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Appl icationFilterChain.java:247) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationF
