Hello everybody,
I'm having trouble deploying my first webservice on Axis. (I bet you hear
that a lot). Specifically, I get a 401:unauthorized error when I run
AdminClient (or the ant task <axis-admin>). The fine print in the error
message says "Remote administration access not allowed". This is strange
because it is running on my local machine.
I searched the archives of this list, and I found some other people who
had had the same problem. There was a solution given that involved editing
server-config.wsdd to allow remote administrator access. But I would
really prefer not to have to do that, as it's a security hole. I really
want to find out WHY Axis thinks I am attempting remote access when I am
actually on the same machine.
I have searched the web and the Axis docs extensively to no avail. They
all seem to indicate that I'm doing everything right. If anyone would be
willing to help me out a bit here, I will love you forever.
Details of my setup follow:
I am using Axis 1.1 running inside Tomcat 4.1.18. It is running on port
10081 instead of the usual 8080. The happyaxis.jsp page shows that all
needed components are installed, and one optional piece is missing
(org.apache.xml.security.Init).
The problem comes when I try to deploy a simple hello-world web service
using a wsdd (which was generated using wsdl2java). In ant, I try an
axis-admin task, as follows:
<axis-admin
port="10081"
hostname="localhost"
xmlfile="./output/axisAutoSource/jono/subcreated/deploy.wsdd"
debug="true"
url="http://localhost:10081/services/AdminService";
username="repotest"
password="repotest"
/>
I have tried many, many variations on this. I get the same result if I
use hostname="localhost" and servletpath="axis/services/AdminService"
instead of using a URL. I also get the same result if I use the
command line java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient instead of ant. I
have done the obvious reality-checks, like making sure that Tomcat is
running and that the path to deploy.wsdd is correct.
I also enabled the admin servlet by uncommenting the appropriate lines in
web.xml, but that didn't help. If I go to
http://localhost:10081/axis/servlet/AdminServlet, I see a page that just
says:
Server is running
Current load = 1
I guess I could also try editing server-config.wsdd by hand (i.e. copy it
over from src/ and then copy the appropriate things into it from my
deploy.wsdd.) but I want to be able to deploy with an ant task
instead of manually.
Thanks in advance, if you read this far!
