How to deploy an Axis-generated soap service to an embedded Tomcat instance

I generated a Soap Service from a WSDL and now I need to deploy it to my existing application which uses embedded tomcat (I.E. I have a class which extends TomcatServeletConta开发者_JS百科iner and a main class which instantiates that class and starts the server).

I see many examples for how to deploy an axis service to a standalone tomcat using a WAR, or a WSDD, but I don't see how to wire it together myself. I assume I have to define a servelet in the web.xml and provide some other glue. Any assistance or pointers to appropriate documentation would be most appreciated.

Thanks! -Carl

Have you been able to get this to work? I've been trying to build a webservice (in a standalone war-file containing the axis jars (w/dependencies)+server-config.wsdd) using maven. I really don't want to make any calls to the AdminClient at all (meaning not to install Axis).

I've generated the server side sources from a WSDL using the axistools-maven-plugin, and everything seems to work ok until I have deployed the service. http://localhost:8080/myApp/services gives me the name of the service and two exposed methods. But clicking the wsdl link displays an Axis error message telling me "Could not generate WSDL! There is no SOAP service at this location".

Is it at all possible to build a standalone Axis webservice this way using maven?

Yes, you will need build your application the same way you would for a WAR but programmatically inform tomcat where you exploded war lives.

Everything else should be the same as the standard servlet spec.
