Apache-SOAP Version 2.0: Installing the Server-Side Under JRun 3.0

IMPORTANT: JRun comes with an XML parser, which will by default hide Xerces and therefore cause problems with your SOAP installation. Please follow step 1 below!

1. Open up JRun's global.properties file (in path-to-JRun/lib) and add the Xerces .jar file to the beginning of the jrun.classpath line. Mine looks like this:
   

   jrun.classpath=E:/Projects/xerces-1_1_3/xerces.jar;{jrun.rootdir}/lib/ext;{jrun.rootdir}/lib/jrun.jar;{jrun.rootdir}/lib/install.jar

2. Go into the JMC, and select the "Web Applications" section of your server (I use the JRun Default Server). Click on "deploy an application".
   
   
3. Select the Apache-SOAP /java/webapps directory in the "Servlet War File or Directory" box.
   
   
4. Name the application (I call it "xml-soap"), and pick a base URL (I use "/xml-soap")
   
   
5. Select a deploy directory (I use the default, which is JRun's default server directory, plus /xml-soap, so for me C:/JRun/servers/default/xml-soap
   
   
6. Click "deploy"
   
   
7. Go to the "java settings" area of your default server, and add the Apache-SOAP lib directory (path-to-SOAP/lib) and the base directory (this is so you get access to the samples) to the classpath.
   
   
8. Restart the server. NOTE: You must shut down and restart BOTH the admin server and the default server for the change you made to the global.properties file to take.
   
   
9. Try it out - access http://localhost/xml-soap/servlet/rpcrouter and see if you get the "I can't do GET" message.

http://localhost/xml-soap

Happy SOAP-ing!
