Build Guide

Introduction

This guides you through the process of building Axis-MORA. It starts off with the process of building axismora with just the bare required jars. It will also have a recommended version of the component to use.

Recommended Environment

• JDK Version - 1.4.0+
• Ant Version - 1.5.1

Building with following required component

1. Download the axis-Mora project from the cvs.
   we call the root directory MORA_HOME
2. Download the following jars.
   

   Download axis1.1 distribution from the http://ws.apache.org/axis/releases.html and copy the

   • axis.jar (axis1.1)
   • axis-ant.jar
   • wsdl4j.jar
   • saaj.jar
   • jaxrpc.jar
   • commons-discovery.jar
   • commons-logging.jar
   • log4j-1.2.8.jar
   
   from the lib folder to the MORA_HOME/lib
3. Download the activation.jar.
   You can download this from http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html
4. Download xercesImpl.jar , xmlApis.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar
   You can download this from http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/.
5. you will need to add junit.jar to your lib directory.
   You can download this from http://www.junit.org/index.htm Recommended version: 3.8 +.
6. Download the xpp3-1.1.3.2.jar.
   You can download this from http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/xpp/
7. Download the servlet.jar.
   You can download this from http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/ Or you can get this jar from \common \lib\servlet.jar http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.12/bin/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12.zip Recommended version: 2.2 or 2.

Keep all these jars in the /lib/. Then you can start your Building journey on the axis-MORA.

• To build you need to have ant1.5+ in your machine.Copy the junit.jar to the ant lib
• Make sure ant optional jar and axis-ant jar is also in your ant lib
• To build you can use command "ant build-all" it will compile everything. it will create a build/webapps/axismora directory. you can copy the aixsmora directory tomcat in the tomcat. When you start the tomcat the axismora will be listening on http://<host>:<port>/axismora/servlet/AxisServlet.
• To compile src only (without samples / tests) use ant compile

you must run the ant tasks while you are at the MORA_HOME.

Congratulation now you have axismora up and running. Please note that if you need to deploy your own service in axismora you should generates a wrapper for this service. To do this we have tool called WSDL2Ws with axismora. It accept wsdl file to generate the wrapper.(tool to do it with a java class will be comeing shortly.) To learn how to use it please have a look at the example3 at user guide.

Miscellaneous Information

• If you are new to this axis-mora please refer to the User guide.
• For developing in axis-mora please refer to the Developer guide
• If you have problems building or using Ant, start on the Ant problems page in axis
• If you have any problem in building process please look at the FAQ
• if you want to test the axismora without tomcat you may use org.apache.axismora.server.SimpleAxisServer. (make sure to keep mora-config.wsdd file in the same directory as you start the server)
