How to update Axis web service?

Hi,

I just got Axis2 installed, with Tomcat.  

To get started, I built the quickstart sample by running ant, and then I used the Axis admin webapp to upload the StockQuoteService.aar, and that worked, i.e., I can access the web service operations.

I wanted to modify the StockQuoteService update operation so that it would return something, so I modified the StockQuoteService.java, and then ran ant again.

I didn't see something like "delete a service" in the Axis admin, so I tried uploading the update .aar file, but even after I bounced Tomcat, it looks like it's still using the original StockQuoteService.  Also, the WSDL that I get when I got to the ?wsdl URL is still not showing any response for the update operation.

So, I am wondering, how do I update a web service that has been uploaded?  

Thanks,
Jim

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I actually found that same info when I was searching, but what I'm asking is, if hotupdate is false, then how do you update an Axis web service?

I tried uploading the updated AAR, which didn't do anything, and I tried manually copying the AAR file into the service directory, which also didn't do anything.  In both cases, I unzipped the AAR file and decompiled the .class and verified that the .class had my changes, but I can't figure out how to tell Axis (or Tomcat) that there's a new AAR.

Thanks again,
Jim

 Hotupdate is an important feature and is required in a testing 
environment. However, it is not advisable to use hot update in a 
real-time system because a hot update could result in the system leading

the existing service data of that service. To prevent this, Axis2 came 
with the hot update parameter set to FALSE by default.

Hi,

I was able to get the web service updated by changing the "hotupdate" to "true" in axis2.xml, but I still am wondering, if the "hotupdate" parameter is left at "false", what is the procedure to update an existing web service?

Thanks,
Jim
