Introduction Geronimo has a stripped down version of its distribution affectionately called little-G. In this article we look at how easy it is to deploy Axis2 war distribution on little-G.   Background Please download the following zip's from the Apache web site and unzip them: Geronimo - Little-G 2.0.1 with Tomcat 6 (zip) Axis2 - 1.3 WAR (Web Archive) Distribution Please ensure JDK 1.5 or above is in your PATH     Start the Little-G server To start Geronimo, type the following command: <geronimo_home>\bin\geronimo run Depending on the operating system you are using, you should see a screen similar to this:   C:\geronimo-tomcat6-minimal-2.0.1\bin>geronimo run Using GERONIMO_BASE: C:\geronimo-2.0.1 Using GERONIMO_HOME: C:\geronimo-2.0.1 Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: var\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\JDK15\jre Booting Geronimo Kernel (in Java 1.5.0_11)... Starting Geronimo Application Server v2.0.1 [******> ] 33% 6s Starting org.apache.geronimo.config...17:36:12,080 ERROR [[/]] "Restricted listeners property file not found [********************] 100% 16s Startup complete Listening on Ports: 1099 0.0.0.0 RMI Naming 8009 0.0.0.0 Tomcat Connector AJP AJP 8080 0.0.0.0 Tomcat Connector HTTP BIO HTTP 8443 0.0.0.0 Tomcat Connector HTTPS BIO HTTPS 9999 0.0.0.0 JMX Remoting Connector Started Application Modules: WAR: default/axis2/1188415013265/war WAR: org.apache.geronimo.configs/remote-deploy-tomcat/2.0.1/car Web Applications: /axis2 /remote-deploy Geronimo Application Server started   Deploy Axis2 war Unzip the axis2-1.3-war.zip to extract axis2.war To deploy axis2.war to Geronimo type the following command: <geronimo_home>\bin\deploy.bat --user system --password manager deploy c:\download\axis2.war Depending on the operating system you are using, you should see a screen similar to this:   C:\geronimo-tomcat6-minimal-2.0.1>bin\deploy.bat --user system --password manager deploy c:\download\axis2.war Using GERONIMO_BASE: C:\geronimo-tomcat6-minimal-2.0.1 Using GERONIMO_HOME: C:\geronimo-tomcat6-minimal-2.0.1 Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: var\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\JDK15\jre Deployed default/axis2/1188423684026/war @ /axis2   That's it folks! You can then point your browser to http://localhost:8080/axis2/ to verify if all's well.   Summary Axis2 war distribution and Geronimo's stripped down little-G distribution is a very handy combination for deploying Axis2 based web services   Applies To 1.
