Hi, We use both Web Logic and WebSphere in production and WSAD in development. There is considerable unhappiness and opposition among colleagues that I am copying the application jars into Web-Inf folders. While the solution of having a duplicate copy of jars is working fine. I would prefer to avoid this architecture, simply because we can't control how the product gets installed and customized in the field and we may be ending up solving problems with mismatched jars in the web-inf folder EAR project.
If there is a solution, I would appreciate it.

I would imagine that your build process produces a JAR file for clients: simply put that JAR into WEB-INF/lib of your Axis WAR file. If you are using BEA Weblogic, I believe that you can create an APP-INF/lib directory in the EAR file that is shared by all components of your EAR file, but I haven't tried it myself and I don't know whether that is portable to other application servers (what server are you using?) Hope this helps, Keith -----Original Message----- From: Sagar Pidaparthi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 July 2004 16:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Deployment Question Hi, I am not sure if the answer below solves the problem. Correct me if I am wrong. I have the same problem, i.e. in my environment, I have a large number of jars which are part of my entire EJB application. These have a home under my EAR project, I am having to copy all my jars, which contain classes that need to be exposed as webservices, under axis/web-inf directory. Is it necessary to maintain this second copy. The answer below is referring to axis jars, and not to application jars. Please clarify.

Then axis will have access to the classes deployed in your webapp. Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Keith Tingle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 8 July 2004 5:25 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Deployment Question > > Hi- > > It seems the standard way to install a web service with axis > is to install > my .jars into axis/WEB-INF/lib, and then deploy via the axis > admin servlet > and a custom wsdd file, with ant tasks. > > But..
