Up to this point I've been using the following manual steps to deploy my services into the Axis web app:
1) Make sure Tomcat is running. 2) Copy service class files into Axis web app classes directory. 3) Run Admin client to deploy the wsdd file. I now want to do this deployment programmatically (i.e. via the click of a mouse from a Java-based GUI). Questions: 1) Is there a recommended way of deploying a service from a Java program? 2) Can I do the deployment if my servlet container (Tomcat) is not running? 3) Does Admin client have the capability to deploy the service class files to the Axis web app? Or do I need to copy them in myself? 4) Will I be able to recognize success vs failure of the deployment? Regards. Steve Pannier
