Axis2 and java5 annotations

1. Download an Axis2-Snapshot from http://people.apache.org/dist/axis2/nightly/

2. Create a directory, pojo at AXIS2_HOME/repository/

3. Update the following entry in axis2.xml

<deployer extension=".jar" directory="pojo" class="org.apache.axis2.deployment.POJODeployer"/>

4. Restart axis2server

5. Write a simple annotated pojo as below

package org.myservice.test;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(name= "AXIS2JAXWS_WS_TEST_Service", targetNamespace = "http://www.test.org/jaxws";)

public class axis2jaxwsservice {

@WebMethod (operationName = "echojaxwsString", action="urn:echoaction")

   public String echo(String s){
       return s;
   }

}

6. Compile the above class with jdk15 and include it in a jar. Assume it is jaxwstest.jar

7. copy jaxwstest.jar in to AXIS2_HOME/repository/pojo directory

8. Access http://localhost:8080 and verify the service is deployed properly.

If the deployment is successful, write a client and invoke the service.

There is a sample jax-ws calculator included in AXis2_home/samples directory. That will also help you.
