I'll be concrete by describing my Tomcat habits. 1. Install Tomcat at $CATALINA_HOME. Leave it configured for HTTP access on port 8080.
2. Explode soap.war under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap. Pointing a browser at http://host:8080/soap/ now brings up the contents of $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/index.html. Pointing a browser at http://host:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter brings up the page saying "Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET- you have to use HTTP POST to talk to me." 3. Install my service classes/jars and classes/jars on which they depend in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/classes or $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/lib. 4. Run java org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient http://host:8080/soap/servlet/rpcouter deploy dd.xml for each service I want to deploy. (OK, this is a simplification. I sometimes edit $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/web.xml to specify a location for soap.xml, then create a soap.xml that disables Service Manager access and says to use the XML ConfigManager, then create a file for the XML Config Manager by pasting in the deployment descriptors.) 5. At this point, all services are available at the endpoint http://host:8080/soap/servlet/rpcouter. This can be accessed remotely, or by servlets and JSPs running in the same instance of Tomcat.
