How to Embed an Axis2 based Web Service in your Webapp?

Q: How to Embed an Axis2 based Web Service in your Webapp?

A: Let's try and deploy an Axis2 based simple web service in our own custom webapp. The first thing we need is an entry for the Axis2 Servlet in our web.xml. See snippet below for such an entry and a mapping for the url as well.

<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>Apache-Axis Servlet</display-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Next, We need a simple web service. Let's pick a Book service with 2 operations findBook and getBooks Snippet from BookService.java:

    public Book[] getBooks() {
        return new Book[]{onlyBook};
    }

    public Book findBook(String isbn) {
        if (isbn.equals(onlyBook.getIsbn()))
            return onlyBook;

        return null;
    }

Next we need a deployment descriptor for the BookService. As you can see, you can deploy a POJO using RPCMessageReceiver and you can specify a namespace for the schema as well as for the web service itself.

<serviceGroup>
        <service name="BookService"
             targetNamespace="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/samples/book/">
        <description>Book sample service</description>
        <schema schemaNamespace="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/samples/book/xsd/"/>
        <parameter name="ServiceClass" locked="false">samples.demo.BookService</parameter>
                <operation name="getBooks">
                        <messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver"/>
                </operation>
        <operation name="findBook">
            <messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver"/>
        </operation>
        </service>
</serviceGroup>

Next, do we really need to create an aar? An aar is useful for hot deployment and service isolation, but this is an embedded scenario, so we go with the "Exploded deployment option" which means that we create a directory structure inside our WEB-INF as follows:

\---WEB-INF
    |   web.xml
    |
    \---services
        \---BookService
            \---META-INF
                    services.xml

Usually we would have dropped a BookService.aar in the services directory, here we create a directory named BookService and drop the deployment descriptor (services.xml) inside the META-INF directory under it. Hmm, did we forget something? Yes, how about an easy build environment using maven2? Here's the layout of our files for maven2.

\---book
    |   pom.xml
    |   README
    |
    \---src
        +---main
        |   |   log4j.properties
        |   |
        |   \---samples
        |       \---demo
        |               Book.java
        |               BookService.java
        |
        +---test
        \---webapp
            \---WEB-INF
                |   web.xml
                |
                \---services
                    \---BookService
                        \---META-INF
                                services.xml

All the jars needed as dependencies are automatically downloaded by maven2 from the Apache and Ibiblio respositories. So you don't even have to download Axis2 dist to build and deploy this sample. All you need to do is unzip the zip below and run

$ mvn install war:war

then rename the resultant war as axis2.war and drop it into any servlet engine. Once your servlet engine starts, you can view the wsdl for your service at:

http://yourhost:port/axis2/services/BookService?wsdl

Enjoy! Please drop an email to axis-dev@ws.apache.org if you run into problems or have comments.

Please download the entire zip here: book.zip

Glassfish + Axis2 1.5.1 + WSDL available after undeploy

Submitted by san.prfsnl.gmail.com on September 17, 2010 - 21:29.

Hi, I have created a web-services using axsi2 1.5.1 and have deployed the same in my Glassfish server as a Web-Application. I am able to see the generated WSDL file at the URL 'http://yourhost:port/axis2/services/myservice?wsdl'. But the problem is that even if I undeploy my Web-App, I am still able to see the WSDL at this location, but i thought that this should not be avaiable after i undeploy otherwise even if I have undeployed by Web-service, client might still access it? Kindly suggest me a way forward, as this is urgent.. Thanks for your help.

Axis2 exposing Marker ADB boolean properties to soap response

Submitted by siddhartha_c200... on April 20, 2010 - 07:31.

Hi , I have used Axis2 1.5.1 version and -d adb in wsdl2java to deploy a service. But while testing it I have found that response soap contains some boolean parameters which were not in generated wsdl. Actually these boolean fields are coming from axis2 generated adb stubs . /** * field for Description */ protected java.lang.String localDescription ; /* This tracker boolean wil be used to detect whether the user called the set method * for this attribute. It will be used to determine whether to include this field * in the serialized XML */ protected boolean localDescriptionTracker = false ; I am getting both these "localDescription" & "localDescriptionTracker" in response soap , in place of "description". Please help. Siddhartha

axis 2 maven aar plugin

Submitted by deshpandekedarp... on April 9, 2010 - 05:32.

I am new to maven. In our project, we have used axis-2 to create webservices using OMElement and POJO based approach. We were using ant build.xml to create the AARs. Now we want to mavenize all those applications.So I spent some time and found that we can use axis 2 aar maven plugin(1.4.1) to create a AAR out of it. I don't know exactly how to use it. Also Do I need to change the package structure altogether before mavenizing the AAR. Does anyone have any sample example for this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problems when I try to add more services

Submitted by paolo.fragale.g... on February 10, 2010 - 04:33.

Hi there, I have followed the instructions to integrate AXIS2 in my web application (TOMCAT + STRUTS + SPRING + HIBERNATE ). It correctly operates when there is only one service, but if I add another service it seems that only the first deployed service works. If I try to call the second service the server says "The service cannot be found for the endpoint reference (EPR) /sun/servicesAxis2/SAPws". The application structure is the following: \---webapp \---WEB-INF | web.xml | \---services \---BookService \---META-INF services.xml \---AuthorService \---META-INF services.xml Is there someone that can help me ?

example works, but i 'can't get original wsdl (1.1)

Submitted by joeniski on December 21, 2009 - 17:03.

i've been using this approach with a service for over a year and it works great (on Tomcat, WebSphere, and Weblogic) - except that i can't get the original wsdl. i can reach my app via http://myhostname/myapp/services/myservice i want to get the original wsdl from http://myhostname/myapp/services/myservice?wsdl at present, invoking this url in a web browser produces this message: "Unable to generate WSDL 1.1 for this service. If you wish Axis2 to automatically generate the WSDL 1.1, then please +set useOriginalwsdl as false in your services.xml" invoking http://myhostname/myapp/services/myservice?wsdl2 succeeds, but i need to return the 1.1 wsdl. in Tomcat, he original wsdl file is deployed to .../tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/services/myapp/myservice/META-INF i've searched online and found 2 hints: 1) in services.xml, set both "useOriginalwsdl" and "modifyUserWSDLPortAddress" to true. This doesn't work. When i invoke http://myhostname/myapp/services/myservice?wsdl i get the error mentioned above. If i set "useOriginalwsdl" to false, i get a wsdl but it doesn't match the original closely enough to be useful for dynamic clients. 2) add a file named "wsdl.list" containing the name of the wsdl file to META-INF. This makes no difference. Any ideas most appreciated!

FIXED (was example works, but i 'can't get original wsdl (1.1))

Submitted by joeniski on December 22, 2009 - 16:13.

A bit more digging through the Axis2 user list mail archives did the trick: The value of the "name" attribute of the "service" tag in the wsdl file MUST match the same tag/attribute in the wsdl file. e.g., both must be <service name="myService">

Same problem here

Submitted by lithyum on December 22, 2009 - 07:21.

I've had the same problem and tried all the above but had no result. The only difference is that I was trying to deploy on a Weblogic with the axis servlet... Eventually I gived up and if needed the WSDL is sent via e-mail :( (Yes, I know: lame!) I would also much appreciate any ideas or comments on how to make this work... Thanks.

Deploying .aar with EJB .jar in Glassfish

Submitted by annakocsis.adte... on November 25, 2009 - 09:16.

Hi All! Thanx for the tutorial, it is really helpful. However I cannot solve a problem with the help of it. I am new to Axis2 and I want to deploy my webservice in glassfish. My problem is that from my webservice I would like to call an EJB class, so if I uderstood it right, I should deploy my webservice with this jar file somehow (or in it?). The whole application (consists of more war files) is in an ear file. Could you, please, explain, how I can deploy my .aar in/with a .jar? (I did not find any help on the matter) Thank you really much in advance! Regards, Anna

Can you give me some more guidance on this topic?

Submitted by chitian5057 on October 10, 2008 - 10:12.

Hi, Thanks for this great and useful article. Recently I need to add a SOAP server service using Axis2 to my web application. I think the approach mentioned in your article is what I need, but I don't understand it very well. Would you be so kind to give me some guidance? My questions are. 1. Are those mentioned in yoru article the only things need to be done to embed Axis2 to my web applicaiton? 2. Since I'm adding a SOAP server serivce, is there anything more I should do? For example, where to define the SOAPAction etc.? 3. There is a command '$ mvn install war:war' to build the war file. I'm using Windows XP, can I do the same thing? I'm a newbie on Axis. I'd really appreciate it if you can elaborate more on this topic. thansk in advance, -Tian Chi

I am trying to deploy the book.zip on an OC4J (10.1.3.1) container. After building it successfully, I deploy it. The OC4J container says deployment went fine. But when I access the wsdl mentioned above I get the 404- /axis2/services/BookService not found Error. It looks like OC4j is trying to look for a listServices.jsp file and of course it is not there? Why would this happen and I how would I fix it? Any suggestions?

Undeploying, hot deploying embedded Axis2 service

Submitted by ysbelman@gmail.com on November 2, 2007 - 10:54.

I tried a similar excersize with CXF and did not have much luck based on their documentation. The sad part is that there isn't as much following to that project as there is after Axis2. It makes it hard locating other working examples of the basic setup.

This worked for me, the jars went to webapp's lib directory. Now it's fully spring loaded. Thanks. I tried a similar excersize with CXF and did not have much luck based on their documentation. You can check my website coupon codes as an example. Thanks!

Embedding multiple WS?

Submitted by alexander leyfer on January 21, 2007 - 17:50.

Could you please also explain the layout, especially regarding services.xml location, for a case where there's a service group containig multiple services. I have to expose several classes in an existing application as webservices; it would be most convenient to keep corresponding services separately. Thank you,Alex.

I did actually see something

I did actually see something about this somewhere. It made a lot of sense to me then, especiall in relation to a gotomypc promo code limit.

Very helpful, thanks

This is one of the most useful articles I've seen here, not least because of the provision of a Maven2 POM which helps get all the dependencies in place. Also, it's very concise, heavy on example code, and above all it works!

Weblogic 8.1SP4

Submitted by padrinno on February 21, 2007 - 00:39.

I tried your sample and it does not work!I tried also with axis1.1.1 and the services and modules list are empty!The only way I succeed to have embeded services is to place the services.xml directly in the WEB-INF directory. But I Axis2 is unbale to load the services and modules respectively from the WEB-INF/services and WEB-INF/modules. I tried to explode also the aar and the mar with the same result. the other problem is that when I use the ?wsd parameter on the service, I obtain an error telling to put the wsdl in the META-INF and it is the case!Did someone succed in deploying the axis2 engine with embeded new service from a war file (not exploded) in Weblogic 8.1?
