This document describes how Axis2 is integrated into OX and how to deploy SOAP services into the system.
Apache Axis is an implementation of the SOAP (``Simple Object Access Protocol'') submission to W3C.
See http://ws.apache.org/axis2/ for more details.
Axis2 is basically a servlet that needs to be deployed into a servlet
container like tomcat. OX ships with an own servlet container and the
OX Axis2 bundle is integrated into this container. All you have to do
is to install the open-xchange-axis2 (com.openexchange.axis2) bundle.
A successfull integration of that bundle looks like this in the
/var/log/open-xchange/open-xchange.log.0 logfile:
INFO: New servlet "org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisServlet" successfully registered to "servlet/axis2/*"
The Axis2 bundle and its directories reside in
/opt/open-xchange/bundles/com.openexchange.axis2/.
To deploy an own service, simply put the .aar file into the
directory services within this directory and restart the
open-xchange server or wait some time until the Axis2 bundle did
recognize it automatically.
