This panel allows you to define the values needed to deploy the web service to a local Apache-Axis installation. When the window is first displayed, the Compile after generation check box is not selected and all the other fields on the window are disabled. Selecting the Compile after generation check box informs the wizard that it should compile the web service after it has been generated. It also enables the Deploy after compiling check box.

Selecting the Deploy after compiling check box informs the wizard that it should copy the appropriate files to the deployment directory so that Axis will be able to run the web service. It also enables all the other fields except for the Deployment jar file name entry field, which will be enabled when one or more of the other options are selected that indicate that a jar file needs to be created.

The Deployment directory indicates the path where your Axis installation WEB-INF directory is located. The wizard assumes that there is a lib directory and a classes directory located under the WEB-INF directory. If those directories do not exist, they are created. Note that the specified deployment directory must include WEB-INF as part of the directory path.

The check boxes and radio buttons on this window allow you to determine what should be placed in the deployment jar file. If none of the check boxes are selected and both do not deploy radio buttons are selected, the deployment jar file is not created.
