Anyone have any build files for REAL Soap web services?
Hi all,
Been messing around with various ways to deploy a web service, using
either Apache SOAP or Apache Axis.
The problems I've found are :
Axis : Great if you're developing Mickey Mouse web services (*.jws are
single java files) but no way to deploy a real *.war application comprising
several external libs etc. All documentation assumes you're writing a
HelloWorld web service! Does no-one else on the planet use packaging for
their web services?
Soap: The org.apache.soap.server.ServiceManagerClient class nicely
deploys the files you need, but you still need to manually copy your
jars into the soap installation directory, and
this requires a Tomcat restart every time you update your service.
Does anyone have any pointers to some other secret method to deploy web
services from a war file using Soap or Axis?
Many thanks.
