All right. Please, make me know if even my method works... I'm using this on my machine, but other successes are very accepted.   Vincenzo ----- Original Message ----- From: Raju Gottumukkala To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 4:09 PM Subject: Re: deploying a set of classes   Hi Mr. Vincenzo   Thank you very much, I have made the same mistake you have mentioned clearly, not including the correct package name when i placed in in web-inf/classes. so i was so desperate that i compiled eveything into a jar file and placed it in the classpath, there are some xml files which get updated, and some classes which access other class files and also some access mysql tables, everything works fine now, i think i will have to try your method it looks more correct way of doing it.   Thank you Raju. ----- Original Message ----- From: Vincenzo Di Stefano To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 2:27 AM Subject: Re: deploying a set of classes Hallo Raju,   I hope I'll be able to help you... I'll ask you excuse if I'll do some writing error, but I'm not very practical in writing in english. First of all, you should create a main class, which is the one seen from the outworld: in this class you could implement all the other functions you need, or simply you can invoke other auxiliar classes. It is not important the number of classes you'll write, or the operations they'd perform: being on the server side, these classes can access files, peripherals or others without any restriction. The only important thing is how you install these classes and other files on your machine: you have to strictly respect packages and pathnames, and rules that describe how to install them can vary from server to server. I can tell you how to do, just using Tomcat 4.1.18 and Axis 1.0... In tomcat you have to insert the main class into the webapps directory, and exactly into webapps/axis/web-inf/classes. Starting from here, you have to create your subdirectories, and insert into them the main class... I'll try to explain it better. If, for example, your main class belongs to this package: test.myservice, you have to create into the classes directory, the test subdirectory, and into this one, the myservice subdirectory, obtaining this path: webapps/axis/web-inf/classes/test/myservice. Then you have to insert the main class into the myservice directory. Then, proceed to insert other classes and files into another directory, and exactly into the common/classes directory. Even here, if these classes belong to some packages, you have to create the right structure and insert classes into appropriate subdirectories. As far as the interaction with the database, I cannot help you a lot, because I'm just looking for it... but it shouldn't be very difficult...   I hope I had help you.   Vincenzo       ----- Original Message ----- From: Raju Gottumukkala To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 12:39 PM Subject: deploying a set of classes   Hi    Could anyone please advice me on how to deploy a set of classes and xml files as a single web service, some of the classes parse xml files, some connect to database and some access some other services.   any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you in advance.
