Title: Web Services Architecture
Post by: ronaldson40 on June 27, 2007, 08:53:38 AM: Hi
Is SME server Web Service compliant?

Can I run java based web services on SME server?

If yes, can you direct me to any documentation, which can help me more on the same.

Regards
Ronald

I was looking for running web services. On the apache website, there is a site of web services.. Tomcat I suppose does not support xml-rpcs.
Howvwer on the Apache Foundation website they have a site for web services.

http://ws.apache.org/

They use a package called AXIS web services. Is the installation of this package similar to the installation of Tomcat on SME?

Is there a how-to for this?

http://www.lankalinux.com/?q=node/8

Will it lead to any problems when running it from commandline in SME Server. The tomcat server, I could install using the howto mentioned on the contribs site. However I am bit skeptical about the remaining parts... i.e the Maven and AXIS

Follow the tomcat howto and install tomcat and java.

In a few hours I install maven and tell you howto install.

Post by: Normando on June 28, 2007, 02:57:34 AM: Ok.
Now follow these commands:

Download maven
Code: [Select]
wget http://apache.adcserver.com.ar/maven/binaries/maven-1.1.tar.gz tar -xzf maven-1.1.tar.gz

Change the name of maven-1.1 directory to maven. The move to /usr/local directory.

Edit you bash profile. Edit the file /root/.bash_profile

This is my .bash_profile file. Make the necesary changes to look like this:

Code: [Select]
# .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs MAVEN_HOME=/usr/local/maven PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$MAVEN_HOME:$MAVEN_HOME/bin export PATH unset USERNAME

Create a file named java.sh an put under /etc/profile.d directory.

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash ###################################################### # JAVA LIBS # ###################################################### if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk JAVAHOME=$JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:$CLASSPATH PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH fi export PATH CLASSPATH JAVAHOME JAVA_HOME for i in /etc/profile.d/*-java.sh ; do if [ -r "$i" ]; then . $i fi done unset i

Set perms to 777.

Reboot your server.

After reboot type: maven -v and you see it is run ok.

Then you can install axis as java aplication.

Hi What do you mean by the above?

Should download the WAR file of AXIS and run it using maven?

Sorry i am a newbie at this sort of stuff.

Why doesn't someone make a script or a contrib for axis on the wiki site. Web Services should be by default supported in SME.

Why you not try to install? SME server allow java aplications as I demostrated, but if you want to learn java aplications, do it yourself.
Ask at axis mail lists. You have tomcat and maven working ok.
