I just did this with axis-beta-3 on BEA WebLogix 6.1 SP2. There is
one big issue with this particular version: When deploying a web
application, the BEA server "validates" (for whatever reason) the
MANIFESTs that it finds in any jar-file, and this fails for two
that are shipped with axis:
commons-logging.jar and
log4j-1.2.4.jar
I think this bug appeared in 6.1 SP2 and is fixed in 6.1 SP3, but
I'm not sure. No infos about 7.0 yet.
Threre are two workarounds for this problem:
- Move the appropriate jars into some other directory and include
them into the servers CLASSPATH. This works, since the BEA server
only investiages MANIFESTs of jars that it find in WebApplications
(aka: WEB-INF/lib), this is not done for other jars.
- Unpack the approrpiate jars, remove the META-INF directories and
repack them with the -M option of the jar tool (probably using a
different name). Then put them into axis/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib
and remove the "offending" jars.
After that you should be able to deploy axis as every other web
application:
a) Put the axis directory from axis/webapps into the "applications"
directory of your server and restart the server.
b) Open the Server Console and select "web applications", then "axis",
then the "Targets" tab.
c) Add the appropriate server (I did all this in "examples", so there
was the "exampleServer" available.
d) Now http://localhost:7001/axis/happyaxis.jsp should work.
e) To make the "Administer Axis" link work, you have to add a
servlet-mapping to the deployment descriptor (web.xml) of
axis:
servlet-name: AdminServlet
url-pattern: /servlet/AdminServlet
(Don't do this with the BEA console, this screwed up my setup
several times. Do it manually: stop the server, edit the web.xml,
restart the server.)
Deploying axis as war file did not work yet, since it tries to access
the file "null/server-config.wsdd". I think this needs some more tuning ;-)
Hope this helped a little bit
Regards
Jonas
