Web Service Status

After the web service has been deployed, you must run the following command from a command prompt that tells Axis that the service is available.

java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient <modelPath>\WebServices\<serviceName>\<serviceName>Deploy.wsdd

Note: This command must be on a single line

Important! This command need only be run once, not every time the service is deployed. Also, Axis must be running at the time the command is run.

If the CLASSPATH environment variable does not include the Axis classpath values, you must include the cp parameter executing java to include these values.

To inform Axis that the web service is no longer available, use the following command:

java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient <modelPath>\WebServices\<serviceName>\<serviceName>Undeploy.wsdd

After running the command, you can check to see that your web service is available to Axis by opening up a browser and entering the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/axis

A screen appears the the foolowing list of tasks you can perform:

Selecting the View option brings up a list of available web services. Each web service listed is followed by the text (wsdl). Selecting this item displays the WSDL file associated with that web service.
