Objectman, I am not using jBoss but the sun RI ( j2sdkee1.3 ). Also I am not trying to deploy axis into the J2EE app server as a web client to the bean. What I have is a working bean deployed into the RI container. I then deploy the Bean in Axis as a webservice ( under Tomcat ) with a wsdd. The deployment throws no errors and ( it appears that it ?) succeeds ( running the axis client shows it in the list ) but all the axis servlets stop displaying ( wierd ).
No, all I need is a way for Tomcat to find the class javax.ejb.EJBObject and I am laughing, however whereever I put the j2ee.jar I get badness. If its under the %TOMCAT_HOME%/webbapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib dir its ignored ( no class def error ) If its under %TOMCAT_HOME%/lib dir its ignored ( no class def error ) If its under %TOMCAT_HOME%/server/libdir its ignored ( no class def error ) if its under %TOMCAT_HOME%/common/lib then Tomcat will not start, it throws a no class def error on org/apache/ajp/tomcat4/Ajp13Connector . Which is just as wierd 'cos I haven't removed anything, I've just added the j2ee.jar. I'll try a cross post to tomcat_users list on this. I'm sure if I tried the Axis into jBoss ( or even jBoss into Axis ) trail it would work, but I am bloody minded, and if docs say "this works" I am going to make it work sooner or later ( or go mad ) Thanks for your help Russell -----Original Message----- From: objectman [mailto:kcintron@;elp.rr.com] Sent: 06 November 2002 18:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: EJBs deployed as webservices continued You directory hierarchy should look like the following. /whereverYouJBossIs/server/default/deploy/axis.war Under axis.war is where you need to place the axis distribution. Once that is in place. Restart the jboss server. You can test your installation by placing a simple test case class in the WEB-INF subdir of the axis.war distribution. Name the java source test.jws. Then, point your web browser to http://yourhostname:8080/axis/test.jws ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russell Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 9:00 AM Subject: EJBs deployed as webservices continued Hi again, Thanks everyone for all your help to date: here is where I am now. I bought the Axis book from wrox, and read the short appendix on deploying EJBs as web services. They added the step of putting the jBoss jars into the lib directory of Tomcat ( a new one on me ). Not being on jBoss I added the j2ee.jar to the lib ( since I'm using Sun's RI ). Now when I deploy the service I get the same basic behaviour which is: Browsing the service URL results in a blank html page. Browsing the services url?wsdl results in a blank html page. Running the admin client list function shows that the service is deployed. Browsing the list of deployed services in Axis shows a blank html page ( not even the original getVersion service et al ) BUT browsing these services urls and url?wsdl works. Curious. So I wrote a client for the web service which when I run returns a huge amount of error data, sifting through which gets me : <b>root cause</b> <pre>java.lan g.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/ejb/EJBObject at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method) . Which is at least progress. So any ideas on what to do now, I've certainly RTFM and it hasn't helped. The j2ee.jar is on the claspath, and in the Tomcat lib dir and in the WEB-INF lib dir for Axis but still Tomcat cannot find the javax/ejb/EJBObject class. If anyone can even give me mild encouragement I will buy them booze!!!
