RE: Modifying Axis WAR file (Was Re: [Axis2 1.1.1] AAR file andweb.xml)

[John Pfeifer <jo...@hnpsolutions.com>]

If your aar file depends on a particular jar that jar should go in the
lib directory within the aar file.  If you place the jar in the
WEB-INF/lib of the axis2.war file then the jar should be available to
all aar files as each aar classloader is a child of the webapp
classloader.

I use maven to build my aar files (using the maven aar plugin).  This
makes it very easy to create an aar file as all of the projects
dependencies are placed into the lib directory of the aar file.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Ajith. One more question for this Axis newbie:

If we place the JAR file within the aar archive (as opposed to the
axis.war archive), where should it go directory-structure wise?  Step #3
of [1] isn't mentioning the precise place.

I'm assuming though, that if we place the JAR in the AXIS.WAR file it
will be readable by *all* web services attached to the WAR file,
correct?

Thanks,
Glen
