RE: So how do you get a portable web service?

[Volkmann, Mark]

With Axis, you can bundle it's JAR files into a WAR file and deploy that to any server. This would be part of the build process for your web service. Of course this makes the file you're deploying larger, but it removes the need to require that Axis is already installed on the server. -----Original Message----- From: David Thielen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 10:21 AM To: Axis Users Subject: So how do you get a portable web service? Hi all;   Ok, so if the JWSDK requires it’s server on any app server. (I had thought it was needed for development, but not for deployment.) And axis requires itself to be installed on any app server. Then is there any way to deliver a truly portable web service that can run on any app server without requiring additional libraries?   It seems to me the answer may be to write a servlet that reads and writes SOAP. Then it would be something that can just be copied to any app server?   This portability is critical in my case because I am writing a library that we sell to numerous companies, all running different app servers. So we can’t require a specific setup.   ??? – thanks – dave   Ps – this is such a piece of cake in the .net world. Of course, their only app server is IIS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.G.
