Hi Kawthar,
Axis is a servlet or server in your case.
The way to use web services in general is to have a normal java application
that exposes services via an interface. These are just plain old java objects.
Once you have an interface you can the run java2WSDL against the interface to
generate a WSDL file that describes your service.
Once you have the WSDL you can then use WSDL2java to produce all or your server
classes, your [un]deploy.wsdd and a whole host of serializable objects and
Exceptions (if your service throws them).
If you have already implemented your service i.e. it runs but not currently as
a web service you will want to tell WSDL2java not to generate the server side
Stub. This will then create an Imple class that will also be the deployed
service class in the [un]deploy.wsdd.
In the stubbed methods of this class you can defer all the calls to your
implementation. The signatures of the methods should be identicle to those
defined in your oridinal interface.
As you will already have a fully functional service just not as a web service
all of the created serializable classes and exception created by WSDL2java can
be thrown away and you can just keep the originaly implemented objects.
Now you should have a deployable web service. Use the Axis Admin Service to
deploy your web service and hey presto....
To retrieve the request that was made to invoke your service you use the Axis
MessageContext to aquire the ServletContext from which you can then get the
original Servlet Request and from there all of the parameters passed.
here is an example of how to aquire the ServletContext from within a method in
the deployed Impl class.
org.apache.axis.MessageContext axisContext =
org.apache.axis.MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
javax.servlet.ServletContext sc = ((javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet)
axisContext.getProperty
(org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLET)).getServletContex
t();
Hope this helps you out and gets you on the road to creating some useful web
services in the future.
Regards
Steve
