Axis service deploy on tomcat timeout

[Adam Landefeld <al...@corda.com>]

Hi all,

I have been in development or a few weeks on an axis based web service. 
It has worked very well in dev. Now that I am deploying for production 
though, I find that it takes upwards of an hour for the service to 
become available after the tomcat server comes up. After the server is 
up I can hit the service at will, no problem.

I used JBuilder enterprise to create the service (it has a built in 
Axis wizard thinger) and I have it making the war file with all of the 
required libraries included.

I hit the axis console page and the service validates immediately upon 
server startup, all of the wsdl for the methods is available instantly 
as well. It is just when you actually send a method request that the 
timeout happens. And each time you submit a request, the load number 
increments. Eventually the requests are all processed... sometimes an 
hour or more later.

Has anyone seen anything like this at all? I would appreciate any and 
all help on this :-)

Thanks,
Adam
