To run the encoding samples, you must do the following: 1. Set up your CLASSPATH. 2. Start a server. 3. Deploy the service. 4. Run the samples. 1. Set up your CLASSPATH. The CLASSPATH must contain: an XML parser (ie., Xerces), JUnit (www.junit.org), all the jars in the lib directory, and the directory containing the samples subdirectory. 2. Start a server. To run the sample, you will first need to run a server. To run a very simple server you could run, in a separate window: java org.apache.axis.transport.http.SimpleAxisServer -p 8080 3. Deploy the service. To deploy the service, run: java org.apache.axis.client.AdminClient deploy.wsdd 4. Run the samples. Finally, to run the clients, run: java samples.encoding.TestElem java samples.encoding.TestSer Note: Only TestElem needs the server and the deploy step. TestSer can run without those steps.
