I have CATALINA_HOME, AXIS_HOME, where is the webapps directory of the servlet engine ? Please help me out. I copied axis2.war to every webapps directory possible, but still can not get to AXIS2.

the 1st one looks like the right one.
what does your web.xml look like?
what other applications are running in tomcat

Hi Savant,

Thanks for extending a helpful hand.
the web.xml in D:\Apa_Tom\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF which is also
D:\CATALINA_HOME\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF is the following  :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
    version="2.4">

  <display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>

    <servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>

        <url-pattern>/index.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

<!-- JSPC servlet mappings end -->

</web-app>

Please let know if this is not the web.xml that you mentioned.

No other application is running.

Thanks

is there one in D:\Apa_Tom\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF

is D:\Apa_Tom\Tomcat 5.5\webapps where you deployed

Hi Savant,

You are right, there is a web.xml in   D:\Apa_Tom\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF
and I copied it here:

Yes, I copied  axis2.war  into  D:\Apa_Tom\Tomcat 5.5\webapps  
then typed the URL  http://localhost:8080/axis2/
the URL changed automatically to  http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/
and the browser body page shows:

Deployed services

getVersion

Thanks for help
Kevlarso

it may be meant to do that. theres nothing in web.xml mapped to /
whats in D:\Apa_Tom\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis2

Dear Savant,

It still does not work.
I am going to re-install axis2.

Thanks
Kevlarso

ok

I re-installed axis2 on a new laptop and it is working now.

This issue has been resolved.

Thanks

Savant,
