Axis2 deployment mechanism for POJOs
Hi,
I am Axis2 starter and I have the following question.
Most of the tutorials mention that to deploy a pojo, the pojo should be placed
under the pojo directory (and if it does not exist, create it).
Additionally, pojos under a package, should be placed in a .jar and modify the
deployer in axis2.xml to point to pojo directory for jars.
But in official guide of axis2
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/pojoguide.html there is no mention
of a need for pojo directory.
Additionally, I noticed that if I drop the jar containing the pojo class to be
deployed as a web service, in the WEB-INF/lib directory the pojo deployment
still works!
So, can someone please tell me if the pojo directory is needed or not? Or is the
pojo directory required only, if you have no services.xml file descriptor for
the pojo?
Because for the case of
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/pojoguide.html there is indeed a
services.xml for the pojo. (This is not mentioned in most tutorials)
I am trying to understand how axis2 engine works in deploying.
Thank you

Hi Pradeep, thanks for replying.
I have read about pojo deployment, and I understand what you are saying. My
problem is, that I find the literature on this matter, inconsistent.
For example, articles describing the deployment of pojo, mention to place it in
the pojo directory and if the pojo is under a package modify axis2.xml to have
<deployer extension=".jar" directory="pojo"
class="org.apache.axis2.deployment.POJODeployer"/>
None of the articles though, mentions the need for a services.xml
Indeed the pojo in this way is deployed, but when I tried to see the WSDL I get
in the browser:
<description>Unable to generate WSDL 1.1 for this service</description>
<reason>
If you wish Axis2 to automatically generate the WSDL 1.1, then please set
useOriginalwsdl as false in your services.xml
</reason>
So it seems to me, that although, not mentioned, a services.xml is needed in the
pojo deployment as well and not only if you deploy the WS as .aar. Otherwise the
error message is misleading and also how can I see the WSDL in this case????
This behavior is consistent though with
http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/pojoguide.html which for some reason
Deepal, says it is outdated.
Additionally, if I want to have custom deployers or group my pojos under a
single directory, I can do it like it is mentioned in the article you reffed me
to.
But if I simply dropped the jar in WEB-INF/lib, is this not a valid method? The
pojo would be in axis2 classpath right? So it would be deployed, right??
If you could help me understand the internals on this (than simply mechanically
do it) would be great!
Thank you!

hope you are already familiar with a the deployment architecture of
axis2. if not refer [1]
the pojoDeployer is responsible for deploying the pojo classes. you
can define your own deployer to deploy a service. you will see set of
registered deployers in the axis2 xml. there we have define,
<deployer extension=".class" directory="pojo"
class="org.apache.axis2.deployment.POJODeployer"/>
so that any .class file put in to directory named pojo will be
deployed by the pojoDeployer.

Hi Deepal thanks for reply:

What do you mean? If the clients can use the service? I can see the wsdl and I
tried a service call and it works.
Also is a services.xml needed for pojos?
Now that I think about it, I guess it makes sense. The jar containing the pojo,
since it is in lib it is in the classpath of axis2 and so axis2 can find it to
initialize it. Right? Is this how it works???

The requirement of pojos directory is to support pojo deployment, if you
are going to deploy services as services aar file, then you do not need
it. You can simply delete it.
