Axis2 (war) + Tomcat 6: WSDL2Java missing?

Question

I am trying to learn how to implement Web Services using Axis2 and Tomcat, but i'm afraid that i'm not grasping some of the basics.

I was following this tutorial but when i attempted to use WSDL2Java i noticed that i do not have the tool anywhere. This happens due to the fact that i downloaded and installed the .war (web archive) version of Axis2, right?

How can i incorporate the tool on the current installation inside Tomcat? Will a copy/paste suffice?

Thanks in advance, Hal

Answer 1

As Gennady Shumakher said, the utility resided in the Standard Binary distro only. Thanks mate!

Answer 2

If u have sucessfully installed tomcat and if it is up and running all u need is copy the axis2.war under /webapps and restart for confirmation (on some Os Tomcat has problems )

and directly call http://localhost:8080/axis2

u should b e able to view the Axis screen ...

the axis2.war file is avaliable in this url

http://www.carfab.com/apachesoftware//axis/axis2/java/core/1.6.0/axis2-1.6.0-war.zip

and if u want to use "WSDL2Java" then download this

http://www.carfab.com/apachesoftware//axis/axis2/java/core/1.6.0/axis2-1.6.0-bin.zip

and set the classpath /path after exploding te zip in any folder "c:/temp/axis2"

u will find wsdl2... in the bin folder
