Unnable to redeploy axis application

[Vy Ho <st...@drexel.edu>]

With an Axis application, I want to undeploy it, then redeploy the 
application.  When I redeploy the application, I get an error.  Is this 
a known problem with Axis?  Is there a way to go around this?  Or it's 
must the way I do it.  Here's the error:

- Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped 
already.  Could not load 
META-INF/services/org.apache.axis.EngineConfigurationFactory.  The 
eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for 
debugging purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which 
caused the illegal access, and has no functional impact.

Re: Unnable to redeploy axis application

Here's a follow up on what I found out about this problem.  First, I 
would like to restate my problem.  This happens in Tomcat Embedded 
mode.  The version of Axis is 1.2, and Tomcat is 5.028 and 5.5.4.  When 
I stop() and start() the axis webapp, the AdminServlet causes this 
problem.  The webapp actually works, with the happy axis page showing no 
error.  However, when clicking on "View" the list of deployed Web 
services, the error also show up.  Disable AdminServlet would make the 
problem go away.  When using the embedded version, if calling stop() on 
both the web context and the Tomcat Embedded's instance, then re-create 
and start them all, the AxisServlet will also generate this error.  
There is an existing bug report at apache on this:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27371

Please also note that using the standalone version and the tomcat's 
manager, calling stop() and start() on the axis web app works fine 
without any problem.
