How to integrate Axis2 into our project built by Maven
Hi,
We're developing Axis2 based webservice and it works great, but now we
plan to build the WAR by using Maven instead of Ant. In the Axis2 1.3
distribution there are 60 jars, do we need to declare dependencies of
all these jar in our project or is there any easy way to get around
this?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Best wishes,
Mai Sun

Hi Sun,
At the moment, even with axis2 1.4 release, if user added axis2.jar as a
dependency, this will not download the dependent jars transitively as the
pom.xml attached with the axis2.jar doesn't list them.
axis2.jar contains the classes from following modules,
1. kernel
2. addressing
3. codegen
4. adb
5. adb-codegen
6. axis2-java2wsdl
7. xmlbeans
8. clustering
In addition to this there are a lot of module that did not make it to the
axis2.jar.
As a production stand point, if the project contains the small units of
axis2 dependencies, it will be very easy to maintain them and patch them if
needed.
Thus, I would recommend the usage of separate jars for your project rather
using the axis2.jar itself. This is because it is maintainable and axis2.jar
doesn't contain classes from all the axis2 modules.
The newest version of axis2 release is 1.4 and it's better that axis2 1.3 :)
Thank you!
Saminda

Hi Saminda,
Thanks for you reply. We're indeed using Maven2 to build WAR. We tried
to add the following dependencies in our pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
<artifactId>axis2-adb</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
<artifactId>axis2-kernel</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
</dependency>
It only downloads the mininal jars for Axis2. What if we want to get a
full version of Axis2? Is it just a matter of adding all sub modules
from Axis2?
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes,
Mai Sun

Hi Sun,
I believe you are using Maven2 to create the WAR distribution. If you
are using Maven 1.x, we would recommend you to switch to Maven2 instead.
What you need in this case is Maven2 and war plugin. You only need to
provide the axis2 dependencies in you pom.xml and rest will be take care
by Manven2 with as transitive dependencies.
With minimum dependencies of axis2-kernel and axis2-adb you'll be able
to build the WAR distribution as you pleased using Maven2
Thank you!
