User guide examples are broken
Hi,
I'm new to Axis, and I'm trying to get the examples in the user guide
working. Unfortunately, they are broken.
Building and deploying the sample service (MyService.aar) as explained in
section "Installing and testing client code" seems to work fine.
But running the client as explained fails:
axis2 org.apache.axis2.axis2userguide.Client results in "Exception in thread
"main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/axis2/axis2userguide/Client".
Then I tried the approach as explained in the README.txt in the userguide
directory. Deploying the service using "axis2server.bat" fails with the
following stacktrace:
"org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: Processing Operations
Modules logging module is invalid or has not been deployed; nested exception
is:"
But since the deployment I mentioned first was successful
(http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/listServices
nicely lists the "MyService" service as Active) , this shouldn't be a big
problem. So I tried running the sample client against this service
deployment:
"ant run.client.blocking", resulting in:
"[java] org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: Processing
Operations Modules logging module is invalid or has not been deployed;
nested exception is:" <<huge stack trace following>>
I became a bit frustrated here :(
Then I found a number of bug reports, raising very similar issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2040
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-1815
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2040>https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-1700
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2040>
Two of them are still open, and one of them is resolved. I've tried
today's (21 March) snapshot, but if fails compiling since it can't
find org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement
, when running "ant run.client.blocking".
Then I followed the helpful advise of another user experiencing
similar problems
(http://www.mail-archive.com/axis-dev@ws.apache.org/msg26819.html).
This allowed me to successfully deploy the "MyServiceWithModule.aar"
but I really don't know if I need this service. What's the difference
between MyService and MyServiceWithModule, and which one is the client
application using?
Still, this did not result in a working client application.
Can somebody explain to me, in detail, how to get the user guide
(version 1.1.1) example working?
Or even better, can somebody make sure that the user guide examples
work out of the box? For people who are new to a technology (like
myself to Axis2), simple tutorials and samples are extremely valuable.
Not working
examples are extremely frustrating, and quickly result in loss of
confidence in the technology; "If they can't even get the examples
working....."
Thanks,
Tom

Pretty confusing, since one paragraph ealier, it specifically describes how
to deploy the "MyService.aar". Why not describe how to run a client for this
service?
Running the clients from Eclipse is pretty simple, as you say. However, only
a few of the sample clients work.
The clients using the "MyServiceWithModule" don't work, since I couldn't
get this service installed properly. More on this later.
Next to that, some of the clients using "MyService" don't work because of
some problem with an addressing module: "Unable to engage module :
addressing". My axis2 web app does have an addressing file in its modules
directory ("addressing-1.1.1.mar").
So in the end, I managed to get EchoBlockingClient, EchoNonBlockingClient
and PingClient working. (The last one doesn't produce any output at all, so
I assume it's working?).

Unfortunately, running the samples/userguide/build.xml does not produce it;
you have to figure out yourself that you should run "ant generate.module" to
produce it -- this is not documented.
But even with the logging module installed in my axis2 web app, the
MyServiceWithModule still does not start up. The following appears in my
tomcat log file after starting up:
SEVERE: Invalid service MyServiceWithModule.aar due to Invalid phases
please recheck axis2.xml loggingPhase for the handler InFlowLogHandler
org.apache.axis2.phaseresolver.PhaseException: Invalid phases please recheck
axis2.xml loggingPhase for the handler InFlowLogHandler

The ant target "run.client.blocking" simply starts
userguide.clients.EchoBlockingClient. It fails like this:
[java] org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: Processing
Operations Modules logging module is invalid or has not been deployed;
nested exception is:...
I can't explain this, since running this client from Eclipse works fine!
This client should not have any dependency on a logging module that is
installed on the server...

I'm using Eclipse. I have not attempted to debug the client or server code
(yet).
I agree with you that this might be a very useful approach to learn the
details of Axis. However, I'm not at that stage yet. I'm completely new to
Axis, and I would like to see it working, preferrably with a simple example
that I can run myself. I don't want to start using debugging sessions in
order to get a simple example working.
If I want to buy a new car, I would like to walk around it to have a good
look, and drive a little while. I don't want to look under the hood and
under the car, and study all the mechanics, in order to judge if this car is
good enough for me.
With Axis, I'm dissappointed by the number of hoops I have to jump through,
to get even the simple things to work (generating the logging module,
finding out how to do that, installing the module, finding out how to run
the examples, etc., etc.). The documentation is simply incorrect at some
points, or does not explain very much. (However I have to say that it is
much better than some one year ago, when I also had a brief look at it).
There are quite some people, like yourself, who are very helpful by
answering questions, which is very good. But I think that the Axis project
would be helped much more if it provides simple, working examples, right out
of the box, including correct and concise documentation.
I'm convinced that the Axis project provides a wealth of excellent
functionality in the soap/web services area, but I feel that much more can
be won if more time was spent on these issues -- increase the product
quality. I realise it's not the most exciting job in the world, but it helps
tremendously to attract new users to Axis. Like I said before, there are
many people who will simply give up if the documentation is not clear and
the examples are not working.
I have to admit that in my experience, another popular soap stack (hosted by
codehaus:) is outperforming Axis --at least in this area-- quite easily.
I hope my message gets picked up by the Axis guys!
Thanks,
Tom

Betreff: User guide examples are broken
Hi,
I'm new to Axis, and I'm trying to get the examples in the user guide working. Unfortunately, they are broken.
Building and deploying the sample service (MyService.aar) as explained in section "Installing and testing client code" seems to work fine.
But running the client as explained fails: axis2 org.apache.axis2.axis2userguide.Client results in
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/axis2/axis2userguide/Client".
++> use an IDE to launch your Client code. IDE's such as NetBeans or Eclips gives you some burden to learn how to use it.
But otherwhise they manage many of the niffty tricky Classpath settings required to run your java code. So, are you able to build and debug the SOAPClient from userguide?
Then I tried the approach as explained in the README.txt in the userguide directory. Deploying the service using "axis2server.bat" fails with the following stacktrace:
"org.apache.axis2.deployment.DeploymentException: Processing Operations Modules logging module is invalid or has not been deployed; nested exception is:"
++> copy from C:\axis2-1.1\repository\modules\saple-logging.mar to C:\Tomcat-5-5\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\modules\logging.mar

But since the deployment I mentioned first was successful ( http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/listServices <http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/listServices> nicely lists the "MyService" service as Active) , this shouldn't be a big problem.
