How to deploy Apache Axis2 on Resin and JBoss application servers

Axis2 can be deployed very easily on most of the application servers. Lets see how we can deploy axis2 on JBoss and Resin application servers.

Deploying Axis2 on Resin application server

1. Download and install Resin from here

2. Download Axi2.war

3. Copy axis2.war to RESIN_HOME/webapps (i.e:- D:\resin-3.1.6\webapps)

4. Start Resin server
Go to RESIN_HOME/lib and enter the following command to start the server
java -jar resin.jar start

5. Open a browser and issue http://localhost:8080/axis2
Axis2 welcome page will be displayed.

6. Verify the status of installation. Click on 'Validate' link. You should see the following 'Axis2 Happiness' page.



Deploying Axis2 on JBoss

1. Download JBoss
(I used JBoss 4.2.2 GA but the same procedure can be applied for any version)

2. Download Axi2.war

3. Copy axis2.war to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy

4. Start JBoss (Just execute JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.bat or run.sh)

5. Jboss will explode and deploy Axis2 when starting the server. Exploded directory can be found at JBOSS_HOME/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmpXXXXaxis2-exp.war (i.e:- D:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\tmp\deploy\tmp46684axis2-exp.war)

6. Open a browser and access http://localhost:8080/axis2
Axis2 welcome page will be displayed.

6. Check whether the installation is successful. Click on 'Validate' link. You should see the following 'Axis2 Happiness' page.

You study is good but its failing for Jboss 5.0. It gets some jar files error and gives error of unable to create SAX parser.

Hi Krish,
This seems to be a class loading issue when Axis2 is deployed on JBoss5.*. Could you please configure class loading as specified in the following guide [1]
