Ikram Garfatta • Semestre 2 - 2025

1 Install Axis2 under Windows


1. Create a new folder which will be the directory of this lab. Name it tp-terminal.

2. Set the TPWS environment variable which will point to the directory tp-terminal:
set TPWS =[ your system path ]/ tp - terminal

3. Download Axis2-1.5.1:
cd %TPWS %
curl -o axis2 -1.5.1. zip https :// archive . apache . org / dist / ws / axis2 /1 _5_1 /
axis2 -1.5.1 - bin . zip

4. Unpack the downloaded folder.

5. Download the set-env.bat which will set all the required variables:

6. Open the downloaded file. Update the TPWS and JAVA_HOME variables. The TPWS should point
to your tp-terminal folder. The JAVA_HOME should point to your JDK directory.

7. Execute the set-env.bat file:


set - env . bat

8. Start Axis2:
%AXIS2_HOME %\bin \ axis2server . bat

9. Make sure to re-execute the set-env.bat file in each new terminal session.

2 Hello World Web Service using Axis2


The goal of this lab is to develop a first example of a web service using Axis2. This is simply
to display the famous: HELLO WORLD.

2.1 Directory/File Structure


- helloService
- META - INF
- services . xml
- hello
- HelloWorld . java

1
2.2 Define the HelloWorld.java Service Class
package hello ;

public class HelloWorld {

public String sayHello () {


return " Hello world !";
}
}

2.3 Define the Deployment File services.xml


< service name =" He lloWorld Service " scope =" application " >
< description >
Hello World Service
</ description >
< messageReceivers >
< messageReceiver mep =" http :// www . w3 . org /2004/08/ wsdl / in - only " class =" org .
apache . axis2 . rpc . receivers . R P C I n O n l y M e s s a g e R e c e i v e r "/ >
< messageReceiver mep =" http :// www . w3 . org /2004/08/ wsdl / in - out " class =" org .
apache . axis2 . rpc . receivers . R PC Mes sa ge Rec ei ve r "/ >
</ messageReceivers >
< parameter name =" ServiceClass " >
hello . HelloWorld
</ parameter >
</ service >

2.4 Deployment and Testing


1. Compile your program with:
javac HelloWorld . java

2. Deploy the service on Axis2 by copying the helloService directory to AXIS2_HOME/repository/service

3. Access the service list at: http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/.

4. Click on HelloWorldService to see its WSDL definition.

5. To invoke the service and get a SOAP response, enter: http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/
