HI ALL,
I was on vacation for past two days. Today I have opened my mail box and saw few mails. I have noticed that some of our friends have few issues with Tomcat 4.01 and Axis instillation (integration).
In reality ...it is very simple, Please follow the following steps.
I assume that
1. You have Tomcat 4.01 zip (jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.zip) file is available with you
2. You have xml-axis-beta2 zip (xml-axis-beta2.zip ) file is available with you.
Coming to the Tomcat installation
1. Unzip Tomcat 4.01 (jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.zip) into C:\ . ( You can also unzip under any drive.)
2. By default it creates a directory called "jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1". If you had installed under c:\ then you see all unzipped tomcat files under c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 directory.
3. Rename "c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1" directory as "c:\tomcat" (This is purely for our understanding only). You can still proceed with the same name. In other words rename the "jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1" directory as "tomcat".
4. That's it "Tomcat 4.01" installation is over"
Coming to the xml-axis beta-2 installation
1. Unzip xml-axis-beta2.zip file into C:\ ( You can also unzip under any drive.)
2. By default it creates a directory called "xml-axis-beta2" under C:\. (i.e. c:\xml-axis-beta2)
3. Click "c:\xml-axis-beta2" or open the "c:\xml-axis-beta2" directory.
4. Find "webapps" directory. (i.e. c:\xml-axis-beta2\webapps)
5. You will find a directory called "axis".
6. Copy the "axis" directory.
7. Open c:\tomcat directory .... then go to "webapps" directory under c:\tomcat (i.e. c:\tomcat\webapps)
8. Paste the copied "axis" directory under "c:\tomcat\webapps" directory.
9. Now the axis is pasted as c:\tomcat\webapps\axis.
That's it .. integration of "tomcat - axis" is over.
Please include tomcat's lib directory into CLASSPTAH's environment variables.
Please include "C:\tomcat\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib" into classpath.
Please include "C:\tomcat\bin" into PATH environment variables.
Go to "C:\tomcat\bin" directory and click on "startup. bat" file and work with "Tomcat4.01 - axis"
Feel free to get back to me for any further assistance.
Regards,
Suresh Marella
