jboss-net.sar not deploying properly in jboss-tomcat

[Bruce Scharlau <sc...@csd.abdn.ac.uk>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get jboss.net to deploy properly in 
jboss3.0-tomcat4.0.3 for a few days now.
For those of you who don't know, the latest versions of jboss j2ee server 
integrate axis. (see http://www.jboss.org)

It works fine, almost out of the box perfectly, with jboss-3.0.0 using 
jetty. You just need to put the right jars in the right place, move a few 
config files, and it runs. It took all of fifteen minutes to get it going. 
A bit of practice and that would be five minutes.

However, with jboss-tomcat, it's a different story. After unpacking the 
jboss-net.sar file and comparing what goes on there under jboss-tomcat with 
what happens under jboss-jetty, it would appear that tomcat is not picking 
up the parameters set in install-axis.xml.

The logs for jboss-jetty suggest that axis is deployed under axis, 
JBossAxis, ie

OK, so tomcat runs differently, but I find none of the JBossAxis 
references, and the context is set differently. Under the logs for 
jboss-tomcat I find this sort of thing:
(NB: I renamed axis to axis2 so that I could keep the files straight in 
trying to sort this out)

That looks ok, but when I go to http://localhost:8080/axis2/ I get "No 
Context configured to process this request".

So what's going on here?

Any clues about how to change the jboss-tomcat config to work with axis? 
Someone must've got this up and running.

BTW: Do these postings copy over to the forums, which are up again? Or 
should I post there too?
