The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Export Eclipse Web Service to Tomcat

Asked by LeonardoLeonardo in Apache Tomcat Application Server, Eclipse, Web Services and WCF

Tags: Eclipse, Web Service, Tomcat, Java

Hi,

I've developed a web service. It runs fine within Eclipse on a Tomcat 6 Server. I want to deploy this to an external Tomcat server(not running within eclipse) but I am unsure how. Below are a list of newbie questions related to deploying. I have developed the service using axis2 in a similar fashion to the tutorial referenced here(my code is completely different but i used similar methodology) http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/BottomUpAxis2WebService/bu_tutorial.html

I know (I think!) I need to File>Export>Web>WAR File. Is this correct? There must be more to it!!

What do I do with the .jars referenced in Java Build Path and Java EE Module dependencies - do these get added to the WAR or do I need to manually copy this to tomcat server. If so to what folder?

The web service references .config files on my c: drive that sets up JDBC driver etc. I probably need to change location of these files to a folder in Tomcat? What is protocol?

The service also references a log4j properties stored file in the src folder. Where should I put this on Tomcat server?

The log4j properties file sets up a log file on my c: drive. I probabl need to edit location of log file, again what is protocol?

Is there an easy way of testing the deployed .war is running correctly?

Do I need to put the axis2 .jar on the Tomcat?


As you can see they are basically a list of newbie questions. All help appreciated.

Thanks
LL
